Our Team
Sonia Newhouse – Founder of Living Heart Peru
Sonia has led a small team in the initial years using her experiences in nutrition, organic gardening and business to create an innovative and successful non-profit-organization through collaboration, integrity and passion. Her previous experience in recognizing where there was a human need, researching, initiating and developing businesses has given her the required skills to set up successful and sustainable aid projects. This, linked with her tenacity to make any project she starts a success is the reason Living Heart Peru is recognized across this area of Peru and growing worldwide, as an NGO with a difference.

Volunteers
Living Heart Peru also benefits from the help of long-term volunteers. These volunteers travel to Perú and assist the organization with everything from marketing and fundraising to teaching Spanish. Due to the unpredictable nature of non-profit work, volunteers must be flexible and self-motivated. They work closely with Living Heart Peru staff and community members to assist where they are needed most. In addition to helping with the ongoing projects of Living Heart Peru, volunteers can take the initiative to develop new projects according to their skills and interests. Many of the projects that Living Heart Perú implements would not be possible without the help of our skilled and experienced volunteers. For these reasons volunteering with Living Heart Perú is an unforgettable experience that enriches volunteers’ lives and careers. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us!
