Classes involve anything from English to healthcare, mathematics, sports, arts-all are greatly appreciated. There are no requirements for teaching experience or Spanish knowledge, everyone is welcome, however enthusiasm and willingness to work with children is helpful. Tinkuy Peru also welcomes professionals in education, health, building or related fields to help strengthen our project.
Volunteers are provided with volunteer accomodation and food (with the exception of weekend lunches).
