About Us
Registered in
Trujillo (Peru) in 2002 as a Not-for-profit Organization
Awaiting Angels believes that international volunteering promotes
cross-cultural learning that helps create global awareness, understanding
between cultures and provides an opportunity for positive
change.
Volunteers teach in public schools, provide disaster
relief support for Peruvian families, build homes for
impoverished people, provide vocational training and programs
for street kids and work in co-operation with local
organizations to distribute aid and improve the quality of life
in Peru.
