Why pay to volunteer at the library La Pagina en la Puerta?

You are working for free and yet there is a fee. Why? Nowadays it is becoming more and more difficult for non-profit organizations to raise money to keep their projects going. As a way to generate an income and sustain the library, La Pagina en la Puerta for a donation fee, offers volunteer placement in its neighborhood children’s library in Cusco, Peru.

The placement service includes clearly outlined job responsibilities and objectives for the volunteer; a wonderful, safe and friendly environment with beautiful children just waiting to spend time with them. Also included is the language course, the home-stay, pre-program reading materials on this website, a Spanish/English handbook, and more.

A volunteer also receives peace of mind in having a staff member from La Pagina en la Puerta, and/or their home-stay family there in case of emergency.
