Volunteers on construction projects work on repairing or building a new home or school for orphaned children or for a rural village. Construction work will be physically demanding, including digging, removing dirt, carrying bricks, mixing cement, plastering, painting, cleaning, and various other needs related to construction. Local Peruvians will work side-by-side with volunteers.
Working hours are normally Monday – Friday from 8:00am to 12:00pm and 2:00pm until 4:00pm, though this may vary based on weather, project needs, and construction schedule. At all times you will be supported by in your in-country coordinators, but they will not be onsite at your project. There will be a Peruvian foreman leading construction, who will determine your work program.
