Kiya Survivors - Volunteers

THE RAINBOW CENTRE: GROUP VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

Kiya Survivors is now offering volunteer programs for groups of teenagers aged 13 – 17 year olds. We believe that the earlier individuals are exposed to the problems in 3rd world countries and shown ways that THEY can actively make a difference, the more hope we have for a positive future.

Kiya decided to introduce group programs for teenagers after the success of our trial program with Copenhagen International School. For more information on their experience please visit their website: www.teamperu.dk or their blog: http://perutrip2008.blogspot.com/ or take a look at the students coments under Volunteering: Times of our Lives.

We can assure all schools, clubs etc interested in participating in one of Kiya Survivors programs that great care has been established in designing the itineraries to ensure that the students are safe and supervised and yet experience as much as possible, both the magic and the problems of Peru.

They will have the opportunity to help hands on at The Rainbow Centre, our centre for children with special needs in The Sacred Valley, Cusco, visit some of the most spectacular sites in Peru and have an altogether unforgettable and breathtaking experience!

Become a part of this unique centre!
