Volunteer for La Posadita Del Buen Pastor which help children living with HIV in Peru, Basecamp International Centers, Lima, Peru

 Description

This is a home/clinic for abandoned children living with HIV. The home provides a positive and nurturing 
environment for these children so they can continue to live their lives in a healthy atmosphere and continue to 
receive medical treatment. Volunteers assist the staff to provide quality care and programming to the children 
living at La Posadita. La Posadita was created to serve abandoned children within Lima suffering from HIV. These 
children are at the La Posadita as their family cannot care for them any longer. In some cases finances is the 
reason(their families cannot afford to care for them any longer), in other cases the childrens parents are sick 
or have passed away from HIV themselves. La Posdita needs extra caring hands to help with this special children 
who may not be around for very long. A little goes a long way as playing games, organizing arts and crafts and 
taking the odd field trip to the pool or beach would bring much pleasure to these children. Bonding and 
attention is very important to these kids who have no parents in their lives. **Please note that La Posadita has a 
minimum time commitment for volunteers of 6 months. This is a fantastic placement for volunteers who want to 
volunteer for a longer period of time, really connect with the children and staff and learn to speak spanish 
fluently. 



Volunteers can assist by doing following tasks:-

Organizing games, helping out with drawing and crafts, painting murals, taking children on field trips, etc. 
The children love face painting, camp style games and dancing.
