About Us

Registered in Trujillo (Peru) in 2002 SUNARP as a non-for-profit organization Awaiting Angels has offices and local coordinators in every volunteering location. More than 35 well paid families provide full board accomodation to volunteers and community based projects in all Peru integrate our self sustainable community.

We believe that international volunteering promotes cross-cultural learning that helps create global awareness, understanding between cultures and provides an opportunity for positive change.

Our volunteers teach in public schools, provide disaster relief support for Peruvian families, build homes for impoverished people, provide vocational training and programs for street kids and work in co-operation with local organizations to distribute aid and improve the quality of life in Peru.
