volunteering component to my travels gave me a much better insight into the real lives of the people of Peru. I highly recommend this project.”

“As a volunteer, I looked forward to sharing my afternoons with the children as they read books to me, patiently answered my questions about the books, worked hard to complete their homework, and then we had fun playing games! La Pagina En La Puerta is the perfect name for this neighborhood library where the shelves are filled with books, games, and kids who flock to the library on their own accord.”

“Thanks again for welcoming me into your library there, it was a fantastic experience. My five weeks at La Pagina en La Puerta were a fantastic way to experience life in Peru. As a volunteer in the library I was able to meet with the kids and the local teachers
every day and to help them with their reading and with games. Getting to know the kids and teachers was not only an insight into Peruvian culture but was also a once in a lifetime chance to meet some of the most wonderful people. Or maybe twice in a lifetime; I'm still hoping I can find my way back there...”
