"Estamos en este mundo por alguna razón, el principal propósito es ayudar y debemos agradecer que Dios nos pone en el lado que podemos ayudar. Mientras tengas un suspiro de vida se puede luchar. No hay nada mas grande que una sonrisa de un niño feliz y agradecido!"

There is nothing greater than a simle of a happy and thankful chilld!") |

In 2016, Beatrice was looking to make a difference in the world. By chance she found Living Heart Peru and was struck by the sincerity of this charity along with the openness the charity had for accepting help. Beatrice's mission is to try and support the charity by bringing a library, education, and anything else she can to support this very deserving cause and particularly, the children of Living Heart Peru. |

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! |
