Volunteering in Arequipa

Arequipa is the second city of Peru and so has attracted thousands of poor people from the destitute Andean countryside neighbouring. Many come for a better life but end up living in squatters shacks outside the city’s suburbs with no running water or electricty. Whole families live in complete squalor with now services or help from the city council. We volunteered in a school in the centre of one such area. It was a truley amazing to teach the poor little kids, we didnĀ“t want ot leave!
