Information
for Volunteers-
Peru
Housing
Ollantaytambo
is a beautiful
town,
located
in the
heart
of the
Sacred
Valley,
surrounded
by and
filled
with Inca
ruins.
MSH has
a volunteer
house,
a 5-minute
walk from
the main
plaza.
We have
shared
bedrooms,
two bathrooms
(with
reliable
hot water
in the
showers!),
a washing
machine,
a full
kitchen
and a
cozy living
room.
The house
is new
and we
are very
excited
to have
a place
where
our volunteers
and staff
can live,
enjoy
the sacred
valley
and share
their
experiences!
Costs
MSH
appreciates
immensely
the work
done by
our volunteers,
and we
therefore
don’t
charge
any volunteer
fees.
To keep
our organization
running,
we only
ask that
volunteers
pay to
stay in
the volunteer
house.
This not
only provides
us with
a small
income,
allowing
us to
keep our
projects
sustainable,
but also
allows
the volunteers
to form
a network
and get
to know
the staff
and organization.
The fee
for staying
in the
volunteer
house
for those
reserving
from abroad
is $10
per night
(about
28 Peruvian
soles).
For those
already
in Peru
or South
America,
please
contact
us to
check
availability,
prices
will vary.
Volunteers
who do
not stay
in the
volunteer
house
may be
asked
to pay
a nominal
administration
fee.
Extras
MSH
Peru offers
Spanish
classes
as part
of the
volunteer
program,
which
are arranged
through
a local
school,
depending
on the
volunteer’s
schedule
and level.
Through
our contacts
with other
NGOs and
organizations
in the
Sacred
Valley,
we can
also coordinate
different
kinds
of volunteer
work,
depending
on demand
and the
volunteer’s
skills
and area
of interest.
Through
contacts
with local
sustainable
tourism
organizations,
MSH Peru
can also
arrange
workshops
(from
making
chicha,
a local
corn beer,
to artisanal
classes)
and excursions
into various
local
communities
in the
Sacred
Valley,
as well
as facilitating
any kind
of
travel
or tour
arrangements.
