Question

Has anyone heard of the Bruce Peru Volenteer Organisation?

Answer 1

Yes, I've heard of it. Some things good and some things bad. It seems to have mixed reviews from the travelling community.

It had considered going to volunteer with them. However, when I got to South America I realised that it was possible to volunteer in orphanages and schools in cities without paying a sum of money and organising it beforehand. All these places need help and as long as you have more than a few weeks to spare, they are happy for you to turn up and volunteer your time.

In saying that, you'll have to stay in a hostel nearby and cover your own bed and board but that is more economical than trusting these charity organisations with your money.
