CENTRO MEDICO PARROQUIAL "LA PROVIDENCIA"

The Medical Center primarily treats patients who cannot afford to go to private hospitals and/or do not have access to insurance services.

The Staff works on a voluntary basis and only receives a part of transportation costs.
Most Medication is low cost replica medication, which is the only way to make it affordable for the locals in need of the service at hand.



Volunteers needed for this institution are young medicine students and nurses.



PRONOEI (programa no escolarizado de educación inicial) "SEMILLITAS PROVIDENCIA"

Every year, children between three and four years of age receive primary education at very low costs. Teachers work mostly on voluntary bases, and try to cover educational as well as psychological support for children as well as for parents.

The children in need receive subsidized lunch and medical care. Volunteers most suitable for this program would be young adults planning on going into primary education or having done jobtraining in kindergartens.



TRABAJO CON: ADOLESCENTES, JÓVENES Y ADULTOS

Various projects exist, designed to integrate teenagers and adults into social life. Others help them getting a foot into the labor market or simply provide guidance and psychological support. Volunteers studying psychology, medicine or other related fields are very welcome to join.



TRABAJO CON ARTESANOS DEL LUGAR

A group consisting out of various families has set up an association of artists. Most families moved to the region of Lurin during times of terrorism in the eighties. They are very open to volunteers able to offer knowledge in the fields of online selling, accounting and basic finance.

Apart from the obvious fields, young professionals in the field of architecture are welcome to join the projects.





As mentioned before, Volunteers stay in a beach house provided by a local priest in the nicer part of Lurin. Commute to the projects is therefore short and takes approximately 10 minutes.

Besides this housing opportunity, the possibility to stay with local families exists. In any case, costs only amount to actual costs the Volunteer entails (usually around 180 Peruvian Soles, 40 Euros, a week).

For volunteers willing to improve their Spanish, Spanish classes with local teachers can be booked for approximately 40 Soles (10 Euros) per session (2h).
