Descripción del proyecto

Who qualifies
Anyone who is positive, works well with others, has something to contribute and possesses a natural affection for the people we are trying to help poor children and abandoned mothers . Age, sex, race, religion and nationality make no difference. Although it is not part of our entry criteria we strongly recommend that you have a basic level of Spanish before joining us. This will help you to get the most out of your experience as none of the children and very few of the teachers you will be working with in schools speak English. You will therefore be teaching and/or helping their mothers to become financially independent: in Spanish. The minimum term of volunteering is one month. We welcome your questions.....sosperuanitos@hotmail.com

Types of work Available
Volunteers often come to help as teaching assistants in one of our many shanty school classrooms; whilst some have teaching experience, most do not. In addition to teachers, S.O.S. Peruanitos also needs Project Directors, fundraisers and people with public relations experience. Our largest project is getting extremely poor or street kids educated.

Accommodation and food
We offer our volunteers accommodation during their stay with us. We also provide three meals a day, five days a week weekends, holidays and days when we are not preparing meals for children not included . All international volunteers must live in the Bruce Organisation centre or in approved accommodation, although some long term volunteers have the option of living in a NGO apartment outside of the S.O.S. Peruanitos centre. It is assumed that all volunteers have come to work only with S.O.S. Peruanitos and not to take on outside work or assignments.

Cost of Volunteering
There is no cost to register as a volunteer with us, we are a charity, not an agency .. All volunteers pay ¬250 per month or any part of a month for the first three months, after that the price decreases for those who have paid in advance. We are self sustaining, everyone other than local professionals is a volunteer and we do not rely on government or institutional support [Note:some Teachers, Psychologists and Social Workers are also volunteers]. Your entire donation should be paid well before your arrival. If you are a couple and would like a double room please indicate this in your application.. Few double rooms are available.

How our Funds are Applied to our Projects.
In addition, money from volunteers also helps to pay for the following:

... Food/drink for the children sometimes the only food they get that day

... Classroom equipment and books

... Local teachers are paid staff

A typical day in the life of a volunteer
In the morning volunteers make sandwiches for the children before eating their own breakfast. Volunteers then travel in teams to our shanty schools, where they either teach or assist one of our professional teachers. In some cities children come into the centres for lessons, in other cities the schools are located both in the city centre, but more often farther away in the barrios the poorest parts of town . The morning is spent teaching literacy and maths to the children; plus subjects a volunteer excells at: art, drasma, and weekly sports day. Some volunteers help generally with all the children in the class, others will have a specific group or child of their own to teach, depending upon the needs of the class. The local teachers decide what the volunteer needs to do within the classroom but often volunteers are left to teach the children for whom they are responsible as they see fit. At least one day a week the children also play sports. At the end of the morning the children have lunch. In some centres volunteers eat lunch with their children, in others they return to the main centre to eat with the other volunteers.
