Volunteer Travel Peru

Health/Medical Projects

Primary health care is one particular program significantly lacking resources and attention among the widely-spread, impoverished people of Peru. In effect, knowledgeable and able-bodied volunteers are in great demand. Volunteers with a medical background or community health are strongly preferred for this project. In collaboration with local hospitals, Rustic Volunteer Travel wants to provide volunteers/travelers who have a strong passion for helping others and have compassion for others as well as a willingness to dedicate their time and energy to those who do not have easy-access to medical facilities. Participating in a health care volunteer project opens tremendous opportunities for volunteers/travelers to experience new opportunities in their lives and careers, allows volunteers to immerse themselves in another culture, and provides a positive contribution to the community where the need is the greatest.
