How long has IFRE been working in Peru? Whom do you work with? Where are you located? What are IFRE's programs?
IFRE has offered volunteer programs in Peru for nearly two years. We offer projects focused on children, conservation and community improvement. IFRE works with many local NGO's orphanages and community projects to offer meaningful placements for our volunteers. Volunteers commit about thirty hours per week to their project. Most facilities are very basic, including the healthcare clinics, but the work is rewarding and the experience is unforgettable.
We work in association with a successful Language School located in Cusco, Peru where we offer optional Spanish Language courses, ranging from basic to intense programs. Our language school partners help us coordinate with local projects to arrange customized Spanish learning and volunteering project balance. Cusco is a beautiful city and our knowledgeable and kind staff helps our volunteers discover its secrets during their projects. We have an established host family network throughout Peru so that volunteers can gain cultural insight as well as a full immersion Spanish experience.
The mission of IFRE Volunteers is to offer the most affordable as well as the highest quality volunteer and humanitarian abroad experiences - enabling us to make a contribution for all of humanity in its quest to make the world a better place. Through our volunteer and humanitarian trips abroad, we aim to spread love and compassion worldwide while improving the lives of destitute children and less-fortunate communities. We at IFRE also seek sustainable solutions in the fields of education, healthcare, conservation efforts and development issues through international volunteering.
