Testimonial Volunteer Peru Cusco

1.- Whats was a daily schedule at the program, hours volunteered?

I volunteered at the clinic from 8:00-12:30 in the morning (4.5 hours) and had Spanish lessons in the afternoon from 2:00-6:00. When I arrived at the clinic in the morning, I would assist the nurses in washing, brushing the teeth of, and the changing the clothes of the children residing in the clinic (with neurological or physical issues).

I would then participate in a mix of shadowing and assisting with the children´s therapy. I would also help feed the children, as the majority of them are unable to eat on their own. The Spanish lessons were either at my host family’s house or the house of my professor, depending on the week. Often we would go on excursions during my Spanish lessons to experience more of the culture of Cusco while still receiving instruction.

2.- What was the most surprising thing you experienced?


Host Family: I expected my host family to be welcoming of me, but I was surprised at just how welcoming Maria Elena, her daughter, and her friends were. I truly felt like I had a “Peruvian mother.” I was invited to join in everything that was happening at the house and felt like I had a home here in Peru.

Program: I was surprised at how much it depends on you, the volunteer, to initiate doing things at the clinic. At the clinic, I was never outright told what to do or how to help – I needed to find my place there and ask questions, clarify what I was supposed to do, and have a lot of initiative.

This was refreshing and after getting settled in at the clinic I felt that I knew what I could and could not do and that I had found my place and capacity to help.

Country: I was very surprised by the mixing of old and new cultures here. You could walk down the street and see a woman dressed in traditional clothing one second, and the next you could see teenagers decked out in Adidas and Nike. You don´t see this kind of contrast in the United States.

Some people still live very traditional lives, and others have very modern lifestyles. It was really interesting to witness the blend of cultures on a daily basis.

3.- What was the most challenging thing you experienced?

Host Family: I really did not have many challenging things that I experienced regarding my host family. If I had to choose one, it would be getting used to the times meals were eaten. I am used to the standard American schedule of a small breakfast at 8:00, medium lunch at 12:00, and a large dinner at 6:00.

Here, I ate breakfast before volunteering but then would not eat lunch until around 1:00 or 2:00 and it would be much larger than I am accustomed to, followed by a small dinner at around 8:00. I eventually grew to like this pattern better than the pattern in which I eat at home, but it was difficult to get used to at first.

Program: The language barrier at the clinic made asking questions and understanding instructions more difficult. The Spanish was spoken very quickly, which made it more difficult for me to comprehend. Peru is the first country I have visited, and although I studied Spanish in school, hearing it spoken by native speakers is much different!

I sometimes felt that I was not being as helpful as I could be or getting as much out of shadowing because I did not understand everything. I don’t like having to ask people to continually repeat themselves, and sometimes it felt like I had to do that. Accepting that I was not going to magically perfect my Spanish and be able to communicate fluidly with the medical staff within four weeks was hard to accept, but it was the reality and the experience was still great and I felt like I was doing the most that I could.

Country: The difference in pace here. I feel like my life at home is very rushed and there is always a strict schedule, but here it is quite different. It took a lot to get used to not having every single minute laid out for me and to relax. I did get the hang of it though, and it was nice to have that change of pace. It is a completely different culture here and even though I felt like I was coming in with an open mind, it was hard at first to get used to.

4.- Any tips for future volunteers… (clothing, travel, personal items, donations, money, internet)

If volunteers are coming during the months of June-August, it would be wise to bring lots of layers of clothing – it can be quite warm during the afternoon, but at night it gets very cold. It is also always good to have a paper copy of your passport with you at all times – at some stores, you must have a copy of your passport to use a credit card to pay.

It is possible to pay with a credit card at many of the tourist spots, but I also found it good to always have some soles on me just in case. If you plan on doing a lot of hikes, it is a good idea to have at least two pairs of tennis shoes (or tennis shoes and hiking shoes). Also bring at least a week’s worth of socks.

5.- Other things volunteers should know before coming here (besides Spanish):

Host Family: Do not be afraid to express any concerns you have! Your host family is here to help you, and they want to know about anything and everything that is bothering you or is causing you stress.

Program: Don´t be afraid to jump right in! You might not receive much formal instruction on what you should be doing – ask the nurses, the program director, etc. Everyone is happy to help you and happy to have you helping them.

Country: The people here are extremely nice and polite. The weather is mostly predictable (especially if you come during the dry season), but the weather does change temperatures a lot during the course of a single day (cold morning and night, warm afternoon). I also found that taking taxis was the easiest mode of transportation, but the buses are definitely sufficient.

6.- Personal Paragraph about the experience (ABV Program Testimonial):

Cusco, Peru, is the first place I have visited outside of my home country, the United States, and I could not have asked for a better experience. I go to college only about an hour and a half away from my home, so I am accustomed to seeing my family often. Was slightly nervous to be going abroad for a month as my first time out of the country, but everything about this program made my first experience fantastic.

I felt welcome, loved, and like I had a second family in Peru. Not once did I feel homesick the entire month I was here. I was able to get out of my comfort zone while knowing that I had a support system both here and in the U.S.A. to fall back on if I needed help. The volunteer aspect allowed me to get more experience in the field I hope to enter one day and gave me the opportunity to assist children and nurses. The Spanish lessons in a Spanish-speaking country were incredibly different from my classes at home and I improved my Spanish more in one month than I feel I have in many years.

Cusco was a wonderful place to be located because there was so much to do close to my homestay and so many archeological sites only a few hours away. There was always something to do in the downtime that I had, and I had support and suggestions from my host family for everything that I wanted to try and fit in in the month I have been here. Overall, I would highly, highly recommend this program to both those who have traveled the world and those who have never left their home town\city.

Volunteer Trips Overseas

7.- How would you describe your accommodation: meals, security, friendliness, quality others:

Meals: The meals that Maria Elena prepared for me were absolutely fantastic. There was not a single dish that I did not enjoy! She always confirmed that I liked the dish and she would have prepared me something different had I not.

There was a lot of variety, with most of the meals consisting of some kind of meat, vegetable, potato, or rice. The soup was also a staple, but the soups were always different and all delicious. The dishes were always prepared with fresh ingredients. The fruit was also always available (oranges, bananas, mangoes, etc.). I never once felt hungry nor obligated to eat.

Security: The house I stayed in was extremely secure. There was an outside gate that always remained locked and the door leading to the inside of the house also always remained lock. I never once felt unsafe or like I needed to have extra protection for my belongings. There were also keys available to lock my room if I so chose, but I never felt the need.

Friendliness: I felt so welcome here in Peru! Maria Elena and her family welcomed me with open arms and I genuinely felt like I was part of the family. I was invited (and strongly encouraged) to participate in all of the events put on at the house (i.e. birthday party for Maria Elena´s daughter, etc.). Every single visitor was so friendly and welcoming. I loved everyone that I met while staying at Maria Elena´s.

Quality: I could not have asked for a better homestay! I loved my time here and cannot speak highly enough of the quality. Everything was clean, organized, welcoming. My bedroom was large and I had plenty of room for my belongings. It gets quite cold at night but I had so many blankets I never felt it. As mentioned above, the people were beyond lovely and the house was as well.

7.1.- Score the following from 1 to 10:

Quality of meals: _10__ if under 5, what was the issue:

Every meal was great! I have no complaints.

Quantity of each meal: _10__ if under 5, what was the issue:

The portions were always sufficient and Maria Elena always confirmed that there was enough on my plate before serving me.

How clean was the house: _10__ if under 5, what was the issue:

The house was cleaned almost every day that I was here. Towels and decorations were changed often and the kitchen was cleaned after every meal.

How safe was the house: _10__ if under 5, what was the issue:

The house was extremely safe. There were two locks (an outside gate and a very strong lock for the front door). The house was also located in a safe area and I never felt that I or my belongings were in danger.

8.- How were the local ABV Coordinator/staff and the support provided in-country: Airport, orientation, introduction to the program, schedule of the program, friendliness, solving problems?

Maria Elena, my host mom, is also the local coordinator. ME was amazing! She picked me up from the airport (my flight was delayed a few hours and she had been waiting for a while but was still so positive and excited to see me). Maria went with me the first time to the clinic and introduced me to the director there and made sure that I was aware of what was happening at all times. I never had any problems regarding my work or Spanish lessons, but I have no doubt that she would have solved the problems with ease.

In terms of setting up excursions (i.e. Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, etc.), she was also fantastic. She went with me to see the program director she usually recommends and I always felt safe on the excursions. Whenever I and the other volunteer staying at the house went on any excursions, she checked in on us many times to make sure everything was going well and that we were okay. She always asked for feedback on everything – the Spanish lessons (she even switched our instructor to one who would be better suited to our learning style after listening to one of the lessons), our volunteer site, and our trips. She always responded right away to any questions or problems we had, and I never felt like I had trouble contacting her.

9.- What was a daily schedule at the program, hours volunteered, activities you did?

I began my day at the clinic at 8:00 am. When I arrived, I immediately went to the children’s unit and assisted the nurses with brushing the children’s teeth, changing their clothes, and bathing them. We then either spent time with the children in the form of taking them outside in their wheelchairs or assisted in their therapy. I helped feed the children lunch and after I would again assist in brushing their teeth and changing their clothes. Left the clinic at 12:30 pm (4.5 hours volunteered) and walked home, where I ate lunch.

After lunch, at 2:00 pm, I would go to my Spanish professor’s house and we would do two hours of grammar and then two hours of conversation practice outside of the house at different sites in Cusco (museums, different plazas, etc.). This was great because I felt like I got to experience much more of the city than I otherwise would have. At 6:00, I would either return to my host family’s house for dinner or stay out for dinner.

A lot of my evenings consisted of exploring the city – going to different restaurants, stores, markets, etc. I had excursions planned for every weekend that I was here. They included: a city tour, Rainbow Mountain, Lake Titicaca, Machu Picchu, and the Sacred Valley. The schedule each weekend differed depending on the excursion.

10.- What was your favorite memory of this trip?:

Accommodation: I have so many favorite memories! One of my favorites is when we had a birthday barbecue for Maria Elena´s daughter, Paty. Friends and family came over the house and cooked so many delicious dishes! Kaitlyn (the other volunteer staying at my homestay) and I made carrot cake for Paty, which was a very fun experience because we had to get creative with the recipe to accommodate for the altitude.

We got to meet so many friends of the family and watch the World Cup (which is a much bigger deal here than in the United States) together, which was so fun!

Program: My favorite memory from volunteering at San Juan de Dios would be when I got to assist with therapy for the children. The therapy was working on cognition and fine motor skills. Most of the children I worked with were nonverbal, so therapy consisted of puzzles and games involving fine motor movements in the children´s hands.

One day I was working with a child named Anibel, and he had finished all of his puzzles correctly. His reward was to blow bubbles. Witnessing the joy he was experiencing while blowing those bubbles is definitely my favorite memory at the clinic.

Country: Again, I have so many favorites! One would have to be my visit to Lake Titicaca. I got to stay the night in a hostel and then go out on a boat the next day and visit the floating islands and meet the people who live on them. It was such an eye-opening experience. That same weekend I stayed the night on one of the islands with a host family. It was their daughter´s 16^thbirthday so I got to celebrate that with her and her family.

The culture was so different on the islands from the mainland of Peru – different language, marriage traditions, etc., and it was really cool to get to see that firsthand. Also, the hikes that we did while on the islands were so beautiful it was really quite hard to believe that what I was seeing was real! At the top of one of the hikes, we could see Bolivia!

11.- How was the ABV USA support prior to traveling? Emails, chat online, calls, volunteer guide:

The travel guide was extremely helpful to have before traveling – it had suggestions for clothing, money, airports, food, etc. The online chat service was also very helpful to have. I had a few questions before coming and I used the online chat and I always received a prompt response. The emails and calls helped remind what I needed to do before leaving the United States and had very clear instructions.

My flight was delayed and I called the emergency number that was in the guide to let them know, and they let my coordinator (and host mom) know. I also received text messages asking about updates on my flight´s arrival, which was extremely comforting – I knew that people were checking on me and making sure that all went well.

12.- What do you think about the reservation system online?


I felt that it was a very efficient and effective way to organize my program. Instructions were clear and easily followed, and the availability of the online chat made any confusing aspects seem much less daunting because there was always someone ready to help you with any questions you might have.

13.- How did you find Abroaderview website?

I was looking for medical internships to go abroad on the internet. I was searching for something that involved volunteering, and I typed those requirements into the search engine and the website for Abroaderview popped up.

14.- Are you willing to speak to other potential ABV volunteers?

Yes, of course!

Volunteer Peru Testimonial

1.- What was a daily schedule at the program, hours volunteered?

I typically would go to the orphanage at 8am. I would assist the girls in the ceramics class. Midmorning they would take a break and I would help with homework, teach English or teach an exercise class. We would then return to ceramics and I would stay until 1230. I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with the girls and getting to know them. I would share with them about my life and they would share with me about there’s.

The orphanage is an active place and I had to be flexible with my plans. One day I got to accompany the girls in the fields and pick ‘abas’ (kind of like lima beans), one day I helped the girls prepare foods and decorate for a celebration that would happen later that day, another day we all watched Peru in the world cup. There were always activities going on I could participate in or assist in.

2.- What was the most surprising thing you experienced?


Host Family: The host family was so warm and welcoming from day 1. It didn’t take any time for them to warm up. It was also really nice to be included in the family’s activities such as Maria Elena’s daughter’s birthday party, and a reunion of Maria Elena’s college friends.

Another really sweet thing was that Maria Elena made a special meal for me and the other volunteer from the USA on the 4^thof July. The food was INCREDIBLE and for sure reminded me of home It was so thoughtful of her to make a special meal for us and for her to celebrate with us so that we wouldn’t feel homesick not being with family on such a big day.

Also Maria Elena was full of advice of places to eat, places to go and things to do! It was very helpful to have someone who knew the city so well and had a good sense of what I would like.

I felt so welcomed and comfortable the whole time! As well as very supported.

Program: I felt very included in the activities and I felt like the leaders and the girls in the orphanage had my back. For example, one day we went out in the city and someone tried to overcharge me and one of the girls quickly stood up for me and asked for the rest of the money. It was really sweet to feel a part of the group and not a visitor.

Country: The people are very respectful and more formal than I was used to. I did volunteer work in Nicaragua and studied abroad in Spain both countries I was very frequently cat-called. That almost never happened in Peru, it was really refreshing. I felt very accepted, welcomed and safe in Peru. I really really like the people here, lovely people.

3.- What was the most challenging thing you experienced?


Host Family: I really didn’t experience any challenges with the host family. And if I did, I felt so supported and there was trust built that I would have felt comfortable telling them.

Program: Because I am fluent in Spanish people talk to me. And the girls at the orphanage a few times shared some gossip with me and didn’t want me talking to one of the other girls at the orphanage. I felt like they had put me in the middle and it was a bit of an uncomfortable feeling, but I was able to find my balance in listening to the girls and not encouraging gossip.

Country: I would have liked to make some local friends my age, but I didn’t really have a lot of time to do so, it was also hard to get to know local people my age. I don’t know if there could have been a social with university students, or if there is some sort of language intercambio/exchange with students learning English that I could have attended to make local friends.

4.- Any tips for future volunteers… (clothing, travel, personal items, donations, money, internet)


Bring a hat for sure, the sun is intense. Also bring lots of socks. I re-wore clothes a few times but re-wearing socks were kind of gross. Good hand lotion would be good too because it is very cold and very dry and my skin got pretty dry here.

5.- Other things volunteers should know before coming here (besides Spanish):


Host Family: You will feel so at home!! Maria Elena has got your back, she is a lovely host mom 

Message her ahead of time so you are in contact and she has a way to reach you when you are at the airport and traveling. Also the food is amazing so come with an appetite ;)

Program: If you have an idea of something you would like to do, feel free to speak up and let them know. They are open to ideas. Also, bring some games from the US. They already know UNO so maybe another one to teach them, the girls really enjoyed that. Something that isn’t language-based – Jenga, puzzles, etc.

Country: Bring your own toilet paper everywhere. Also, it’s colder than you would think. If you have a sensitive stomach/system you should bring your favorite remedies from home because products are different here. For example, bring Dramamine if you get motion sick because if you travel there are some long drives on some curvy roads.

6.- Personal Paragraph about the experience (ABV Program Testimonial):


This has been one of my favorite travels of my whole life. I have done a lot of traveling and have had mostly good experiences but my time with ABV has been one of my favorites of all of my travels. The host family experience was incredible.

My host Mom welcomed me with open arms from day one and was always checking in on me to be sure that I had everything I needed to be comfortable and feel supported. The experience with the director, wonderful- I have felt so supported throughout the whole process.

I really enjoyed my volunteer site- an orphanage. I was able to really build relationships with the girls in the orphanage over my month long time with them. The girls were so welcoming and inclusive of me, I really felt like part of the family.

I enjoyed hearing their stories and they were interested and asked me questions about my life too. I also really enjoyed my Spanish classes which I had for 4 hours a day in a group of 2.

My classes were designed specifically to meet my needs and where I am at as well as where I would like to be. Additionally, the classes had a component of conversation that would often happen out in the streets in a local market or museum.

Also, Maria Elena helped me to plan weekend trips with a local travel agency and I was soooo thankful for that help because there are SO many travel agencies and I would have no idea which ones were good and which ones were not.

Literally, everything was wonderful- the program, the city, the host family the trips, the food and the lodging. Everything went so smoothly and I feel like I learned a lot about a new culture and was hopefully able to encourage some girls in need about their value and encourage them in general with life decisions. So thankful for this time. I would recommend this program to any and everyone!!

7.- How would you describe your accommodation: meals, security, friendliness, quality others:


Meals: Meals were lovely. Fresh fruit was always available which I really appreciated. Maria Elena provided a really nice variety of food, we had chicken, pork, eggs, beef. She was always mixing it up. She also switched up the soups a lot too.

The variety gave a good taste of lots of local foods and kept it interesting. She was also sensitive to American tastes…. not serving us any organs or intestines which can be common but I wouldn’t really want to try necessarily.

Tea and hot beverages were always on hand which was welcoming in such cold weather. Also fresh clean safe to eat veggies were provided often which was a lovely addition.

Security: I felt very safe the whole time, a safe neighborhood and a safe city. I didn’t feel like such a tourist and like I stood out even though I am very fair skinned. I felt comfortable and at peace walking around. The locals are very friendly and many lookouts for tourists.

Friendliness: So kind and friendly. I really felt like part of the family. So thankful for the time I had. From day one I felt at home, welcomed, comfortable to ask anything. Wonderful host family experience!!

Quality: Very nice place to stay, cozy and comfortable. Great location. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom, storage, TV, Netflix.

8.- How were the local ABV Coordinator/staff and the support provided in-country: Airport, orientation, introduction to the program, schedule of the program, friendliness, solving problems?

Maria Elena was amazing! So helpful, thoughtful, kind, supportive and always available. Maria Elena was waiting at the airport for me with a sign, a smile and a warm hug. She walked me around the city so that I could have a feel for where things were. She showed me bus routes and stops.

And she went with me my first day so that I would know how to get to my site and back as well as to introduce me to the leaders of the organization and help me to get oriented.

Maria Elena always helped me to coordinate with the leaders at the orphanage special activities such as the talk I gave and the goodbye party I had. She worked with me and my Spanish teacher to make a schedule that worked best and was always quick to communicate with me if something changed. ME was always friendly and responsive.

Thankfully I didn’t really encounter any problems that needed to be solved. That being said, Maria Elena was frequently checking in on me to be sure that everything was going well and to ask me if I needed anything or if I was encountering any problems/ wanted anything to be different.

9.- Whats was a daily schedule at the program, hours volunteered, activities you did?

I typically would go to Orphanage at 8am. I would assist the girls in the ceramics class. Midmorning they would take a break and I would help with homework, teach English or teach an exercise class. We would then return to ceramics and I would stay until 1230. I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with the girls and get to know them.

After I would finish volunteering in the orphanage I would head back to my host family’s home, I would eat lunch and then have a little bit of downtime before my 4 hour Spanish class block. After my Spanish class was over I would either stay in the city center and eat dinner or return to my host family’s place for dinner.

10.- What was your favorite memory of this trip?:


Accommodation: I really enjoyed being included in my host family’s BBQ for my host Mom’s daughter’s birthday. I made a cake with the other girl in my program- which was a lot of fun trying to figure out how to bake in a higher altitude. While we were working on that Maria Elena was working on the food as was her daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend.

I helped cut the cake, serve, clean etc. I felt just like I was at home helping with a family event. It also was a lot of fun meeting more of the family and genuinely feeling welcomed as part of it.

Volunteer Program: My going away party at the orphanage was so lovely. The girls prepared a big poster with me and some made small gifts for me. I brought a cake, cookies, chips and sodas. The leader of the program did a little speech and then some of the girls talked. I then received the card and through a few tears shared with the girls how thankful I am for each one of them.

I really got to know the girls and build relationships with them. It was so hard to say goodbye—which really indicates a lot of love and relationships built.

Country: It is so hard to choose just one favorite memory of the country. It is such an amazing place!! I got to do and see so much!

But I really enjoyed my day trip to Rainbow Mountain. The food was so good and there was lovely comradery amongst the fellow adventurers. It is in such a rural area which was really fun to experience culturally to see how other people in the world live.

Riding a horse up the mountain was a lot of fun and was relaxing. And once we got to the top it was absolutely amazing! Soo beautiful! Even better than the pictures if that is even possible. The guide was great and everything was orderly and timely and ran very smoothly.

11.- How was the ABV USA support prior traveling? Emails, chat online, calls, volunteer guide:

Everything was SOO prompt. It was amazing!! Lori was always online to help with any questions that I had along the way. Additionally, Sarah provided lots of great information specific to my travels prior to me arriving.

I also found the volunteer guide very helpful. I felt like I had a good idea of what to expect and what to pack to be prepared.

12.- What do you think about the reservation system online?


It was very efficient and easy to use.

13.- Who did you find Abroaderview website?

I found the website from a google search. I was specifically looking for a program in South America where I could volunteer, live with a host family, and take Spanish classes.

14.- Are you willing to speak to other potential ABV volunteers?

Yes of course! In fact I would really enjoy talking to someone if they had any questions.

Other Reviews

1- How was the local ABV Coordinator/staff and the support provided in-country?

My coordinator was great. She was very supportive and was available when I had questions. She gave great recommendations for things to do around the city. She worked very hard to make sure I had an enjoyable time.

Program: Being picked up from the airport and having a day to tour the city with my coordinator.

Host Family: My living conditions were clean and comfortable and spacious.

Country: The people were very interested in my hair and dark skin tone.

3- What was the most challenging thing you experienced?

Program: No real problems. I wasn’t able to contact my coordinator when my flight was delayed because my phone didn’t work.

ABV: when having delays and your phone doesnt work, ask a local to lend a phone to call the coordinator, or find a cybercafe at the airport to email A Broader View and the coordinator. We are always online for emergencies.

Host Family: Having clean water to drink. I had to buy large bottles because of the water in Peru. Bring a filter water bottle.

Country: Some people were a little too curious ;) and would pull my hair and stare at me for long periods of time.

4- Any tips for future volunteers… (clothing, travel, personal items, donations)

1. Multiple pairs of pants. i.e. jeans, sweat, hiking.

2. Gloves for the clinic. As stated in the ABV guide.

3. Extra cash, so you don’t have to keep going to the ATM.

5.1-Other things volunteers should know before coming here:

a. People of Cusco are nice and are just curious if they talk about your hair and your skin.

b. People in Peru have a different view of “personal bubble” than in USA. They do not mind getting close to you and packing into cars or buses.

6- Personal Paragraph about the experience (ABV Program Testimonial):

ABV is a great opportunity to explore a new country and work in a place to learn more about the healthcare system if working in the clinic.

7- How would you describe your accommodation, meals, security, friendliness, quality others:

Perfect! Could not have asked for more.
