This exciting expedition takes participants to the communities in the jungle. From the start of the expedition, participants are immersed in community English teaching programmes this is definitely the programme for you! The expedition base is situated next to a waterway with a boat dock, and is surrounded by lush rainforest that is the home to monkeys, caiman, otters and other wildlife, which (depending on your luck) can be regularly sighted from the base. Across the waterway (a short canoe ride away). There is no road access to the region, so all transportation is via kayak, canoe and motor boat, through the stunning rivers surrounded by tropical rainforest and its associated wildlife.
However there is a lack of English teachers to complete the required level and other subjects , volunteers are valued where English is their native or near native language to aid in the learning of the children.
By working in these, volunteers will make a real personal difference to the lives of underprivileged children.
Naturally a volunteer's Spanish will improve over the course of their volunteering but it is highly recommended that the volunteer take advantage of the Spanish lessons offered by our program staff .

Start and Duration
Placements begin on the 1st and 15th of each month. Volunteers can choose to volunteer for periods of one week to six months.

Language Requirements
PFY does not require individuals to possess foreign language skills to be able to participate in the Volunteer Program. It goes with saying that the volunteer experience is greatly enhanced if one is capable of communicating with community members in the host country’s native language. All prospective volunteers travelling to a project site in Peru have the opportunity to enrol in online general and medical Spanish courses with PFY national partner, Peruvian Spanish School.

Orientation
Orientation will begin on the 1st and 15th of each month in Lima or Huancayo (depending on where you wish to be placed). Orientation will be conducted by program staff in Lima and Huancayo and cover everything you need to know for your volunteering placement in Peru – Introduction to Peru, Peruvian Customs, Language Training Information (Spanish), Rules and Expectations, Safety, Travel Opportunities in Peru, Introduction to your project and placement. During orientation volunteers will finalise their placement city and specific placement. The orientation will also give you a chance to meet other volunteers and swap contact details for weekend travel and socializing. Once orientation is complete, volunteers will be transported to their home stay (or host city) and introduced to all relevant parties – home stay family members and program placement staff.
