Developing and third world countries tend to have a large number of orphaned children and orphanages due to the general poverty and poor conditions, many families live in.

Peru is no exception and there is a real dearth of helpers and volunteers willing to work in these orphanages and help educate and develop the children. Work at the orphanage can involve cooking, cleaning, playing with children, entertaining children, assisting with feeding programs, caring for children and babies and teaching.
