Homestays
As a grassroots organization, local families participate actively in our programs. Our Peruvian families enjoy opening their homes to volunteers from overseas. Volunteers are accommodated in a single or double bedroom according to availability with a shared and clean bathroom with hot showers. As a guest you will have plenty of opportunities to practice your conversation and comprehension skills with the family. In addition, you will observe and participate in everyday Peruvian life and culture.
Homestay Benefits
* Local families are very happy to receive an extra income that helps their economy.
* Provides a safe, warm and friendly environment for volunteers.
* Gives volunteers and local families an excellent opportunity to learn about their culture and lifestyle.
* Improves volunteers' Spanish language skills.
* Family activities help students adjust to living in Peru and their experience of the Peruvian lifestyle will be more enjoyable.
Meals
Peruvian families provide guests with three daily meals from Monday to Saturday. On Sundays volunteers can use the kitchen to cook meals.
Cultural tip: Note that the main food in Peru is served at lunch time.
Special Diet
If you prefer vegetarian dishes, or if you have any food allergies or other special diet requirement, please let us know and we will be glad to accommodate you. Just indicate your dietary preferences (what specific foods you can eat or not) when you fill out your registration form.
Families are aware that many types of food are new to you and that you will like some dishes more than others. So please remind your family what things you eat and do not eat, and feel free to let them know what new dishes you have liked (or not). Remember, you may ask your family to serve you plenty of the wide variety of Peruvian’s readily available fruits and vegetables.
Pisco program
Due to the nature of Pisco project wich is earthquake recovery program, homestays are not available in this moment. We offer full board accommodation in our volunteer residence.
