What an amazing experience I had at this magical place it literally changed the course of my life. They look after these kids not just by helping them with their education, but also with their nutrition and more love and games than you could poke a stick at. I have no doubt in me that this place has changed the lives of all the children that attend. It inspired me so much I’m now studying to be a teacher.
I always have wanted to do volunteer work in Peru. When the school offered a place to practice my study in this country I was immediately sold. When I arrived at Añañau, I was loaded with hugs from all the children. The weeks that followed, my connection with the kids and team grew. There was a lot of laughter, sometimes a hug, and some good advice when I needed it. When I needed help or a good talk, there was always someone who I could count on. They make a good support system and a close family. The love and closure that I got made my heart warm. It makes me even more happy that I could help some of the children in their development.
Peru and Añañau are an unforgettable experience. With beautiful memories, new friends and a suitcase filled with souvenirs I’m going home.
In 2018 I volunteered for the project, had the honor of working with the children and being able to share a little of my knowledge with them. This beautiful project teaches not only content but also educates children and teaches them how to grow as a person.
A beautiful country where you are warmly received at Añañau with a lot of smiles. You will leave the project with a lot of extra life experience, happiness and gratitude of the kids and the team. This experience was more beautiful than I could ever imagine!
