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.
