Internship in education and humanitarian aid to native children of the Peruvian Andes.

We invite you to participate and develop your professional and human capacities in a project aimed at providing support, educational and emotional assistance to children at risk.

These children come from Quechua migrant families and originate from areas of the Peruvian Andes and have been affected by political violence, social, economic and cultural marginalization, in general, by extreme poverty (Poverty map of the Peruvian government).

The project is being developed in areas or communities around the Mantaro Valley in the central Andes of Peru.
