 Program Name: Inca Project in Peru
Organization: Projects Abroad
About Projects Abroad: Projects Abroad was founded in 1992 when Dr. Peter Slowe, a university professor, realized the need for international programs that involve travelling and working abroad at the same time. A couple of his students approached him with an idea of spending a gap year in Eastern Europe. Knowing some colleagues in Romania, Dr. Peter Slowe set up a teaching English program for his students which gave a jump start to Projects Abroad.
Student by student Projects Abroad began sending participants on Teach English Abroad programs in Eastern Europe. Realizing the need for international volunteers in developing countries, Projects Abroad began growing and expanding its programs to many other countries all over the world. In addition to volunteer programs, Project Abroad now offers international internships as well.
Whether you are 16 or 75, a high school student or a retired professional, volunteering overseas is something that will change your life forever. No matter what your background or age is, Projects Abroad will find the right volunteer or internship abroad program for you!
Highlights: Peru is teeming with ancient historic sites, such as the famous ruins of Machu Picchu and the former Inca capital Cuzco. Once a hotbed of Incan culture, the various regions of Peru now offer a valuable way to connect with history and unearth meaningful information about the ancient past. When you take part in the Inca Project, you will get to explore a variety of ruins and actually participate in excavation work with a team of archaeologists and other volunteers. You will also have the opportunity to help strengthen the local community by helping out at the schools and organizing events for children.
