VOLUNTEER WORK |
In the present
globalized world, a feeling of solidarity is growing like a light of
hope which shows itself in many ways. There are for example the
efforts to join forces to protect the environment; to save children
from ignorance and distress; and to lift communities out of
extreme poverty. For this noble reason, Arequipa, like many
cities in Latin America has had the invaluable help of
foreign friends and institutions that voluntarily work with
abandoned children and the handicapped, in nurseries, in
schools, in health centers etc. Using its experience Ceica Peru
Spanish Language School has designed some special programs for those
interested in learning or improving their Spanish
and/or participating in voluntary work. In this web page you
will find all the information that you need. |

care.
You will discover your strengths and talents. You will
develop new abilities that will serve you for the rest of your
life.
