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
