Volunteering opportunities in Arequipa

Volunteering

By Ricardo Segreda

Arequipa's urban and natural beauty, and it's rich culture, does not make it immune from many of the same social problems that affect the rest of Peru, especially her children. The underfunded and understaffed educational system, in particular, is in high need of assistance, and for this Arequipa provides many volunteers prospects, as well opportunities to learn Spanish.
