The importance of the English language has become crucial in recent years, when you are looking for qualified job opportunities or better educational alternatives.
However, the teaching of English in Peru does not begin until adolescence and in a non-intensive way. At the end of high school education, there are very few people whom really learned some of this language. According to the organization EducationFirst, Peru ranks 45 out of 72 countries in the domain of this language, considering it within the category of low level.
The objective of this program is to guide children into English language learning, providing them with a solid foundation and fundamental knowledge for the management of this important language. We use all kinds of didactic resources to make the class a fun environment for children to enjoy while they learn.
Responsibilities:
- Give formal English classes to children.
- Prepare classes according to our curriculum, but bear in mind that our curriculum does not consist of already prepared classes, but rather it works as a base. You will be responsible as a teacher to think about interesting and creative activities and topics. The project coordinator and / or the project manager will be available to support you in this task.
- Deliver your class planning to the project coordinator or manager every Thursday for next week.
- Make sure that the materials used in class will be returned and ordered in the World English space in the office.
- Bring new ideas on how to improve World English.
- Attend the weekly meeting with the other English teachers.

Its acquisition or evolution, in the school process, mediates and conditions the capacity for educational participation and social interaction of the child. From this point of view, one of the aspects to be promoted from PERU LEE is the provision of resources that enables early detection of possible limitations in this area.

In our Dental Care Program you can use your dental experience to help illuminate the smiles of peruvian children. Many children do not have access to dental services and the need for a professional job done. In this project we will work with the collaboration of a professional dentist who oversees the program.
For the groups, the volunteer work can be done in a rural school or orphanage. For individual dentists, they will work with professional dentists in their clinics. The work that is done depends on the time you have to volunteer, and the different needs of each project, and what the volunteer would like to gain from the experience.
Dental tasks include:
Stretch and Dental Prophylaxis
This treatment consists of a deep cleaning of each tooth with special tools provided by the Bright Smiles program and the professional dentist. You can do it manually or with a mechanical brush. Through this treatment volunteers can completely eliminate the presence of soft and hard plaque, to avoid problems in the future such as gingivitis.
Sealer
The purpose of this process is to prevent the increase of caries in children. Volunteers will apply sealant while supervised by the professional dentist.
Dental Restoration
Volunteers will work with children who already have enamel loss or have tooth decay. Depending on the patient's case, the restoration can be done with a glass ionomer or a resin. Before putting the filling, the volunteers will have to eliminate the cavities.
Simple or Complex Extraction
Under the supervision of the professional dentist, volunteers will extract a tooth when there is no other way to save the tooth. The volunteers will remove or eliminate the tooth or root that harms the patient's oral health.
Fluor application
With this process, the volunteer will help maintain the dental health of children's teeth and their dental structure. The volunteers will apply a topical gel to all the teeth under the supervision of the professional dentist.
Requirements:
- The minimum age for volunteers is 18 years of age unless they travel with family members over the age of 18 or their school. To participate in medical programs you must be a dentistry student or have your dental certificate and experience. You may have to show us your credentials. It is also necessary for volunteers to be aware that they will encounter the cultural differences in Peru that they must be willing to respect. Our volunteers must be willing to participate in your project and have an open mind towards the differences that may arise.
Our goal is to encourage children and their families to develop their own physical abilities so that they can be the main agents of change and improvement in their lives.
Under the supervision of the Volunteer Coordinator, volunteers will plan and offer activities. We are open to new ideas, so if you have any that you want to teach, let us know.
This is a demanding program but one that is highly rewarding. The days of the week will be very busy, but there will be free time during weekends. The beach is nearby and summer is a great time in Trujillo.

Volunteering is the representation of the responsibility and solidarity of society towards the less favored. People who devote part of their time and energy to help without expecting anything in return but who, nevertheless, obtain a high emotional well-being. Among the solidarity actions in which we can take part is to collaborate as a volunteer in an animal protection.
The fundamental reason that moves the volunteers that work in a shelter is to help the animals that have been left helpless to offer them a second chance, a new life that will fill them with the affection that was denied them by those who mistreated or abandoned them. Your goal: to restore happiness. With their attitude and their work, they try to make the world a better, more just and balanced place; in short, friendlier.
