This is a great opportunity to combine your Spanish courses with a truly constructive experience. Volunteering offers the opportunity to bridge the gap that often exists between Peruvian natives and foreign visitors. There are various areas to choose from, including social assistance, education, and medical assistance.The combined voluntary work internship programme will last at least 8 weeks (4 weeks of Spanish courses and 4 weeks of voluntary work). If you choose this programme, accommodation will be in the school’s student residence.
