Company : International Volunteer HQ (IVHQ)
Activities : Education Programmes / Teaching / Language Projects / Charity
Countries : Peru
Location : Cusco
Cusco is the tourism capital of South America and therefore the majority of Cusquenan children will tell you that they want to be a tourist guide when they grow up.
They are also aware that this dream requires a high level of English and are therefore very excited to learn English with native speakers. The ability to speak English gives local children a genuine opportunity to support themselves and find work on completing their education, as tourism forms an integral part of the local economy. Volunteers will work in local schools, community centers and shelters for street children. Work varies but generally consists of providing tutoring to local students, setting up small workshops, assisting local teachers and organizing educational games and activities. NB Volunteers DO NOT need to be a qualified or experienced teacher.
