Leading Project Peru VI

The MTV projects were born of the necessity to involve international volunteers in volunteer projects in Peru to work together with local youngsters. Peru Sonqoykipi started to organize these projects in 2004 with excellent results. Volunteers in these projects will have the chance to interact with many local communities and will be working closely with Peruvian young people. This is an experience about organizing, working and making at the same time long lasting friendships by helping communities. But, most important, it is about sharing a life experience with Peruvian people. Many things have to be arranged for coordinating international project and one of them is leading international groups of volunteers; this is what these projects are all about. Volunteers will lead different groups of international volunteers in projects taking part in Peru. The projects can vary in many ways. Peru Sonqoykipi organizes every year a great diversity of activities. The MTV volunteer will be the camp leader of the international project and will be in charge to coordinate groups of international volunteers to work on the projects but also to encourage the interaction with locals giving hope for cultural exchange with all participants. 1.-A Leader Training Course about how to lead international groups of volunteers. 2.-A training in order to adapt to the Peruvian culture, manage cultural shock and motivation of work teams. 3.-A training in order to learn more about administration team tools, techniques to manage conflicts and how to make teams of people work smoothly. WORK: The work will consist in helping to coordinate local projects in different communities in Peru and to be the camp leader of groups of international volunteers (managing daily life, organizing volunteers’ finances, etc.), and also to coordinate the relationships with the local people. Every project always will be supported by Peru Sonqoykipi staff and the local hosts of each project. Each MTV volunteer will lead 2 or 3 groups of international volunteers in 2 or 3 different projects. Between each camp there will be a vacation period before the next project starts and at the end of the MTV period will make a general evaluation of his/her stay in Peru. Peru Sonqoykipi will cover all the expenses of the MTV volunteers while in the international projects. Between each project there is an 8 to 17 days vacation period that could be used to rest but also to prepare all the necessary things before the next project starts. Peru Sonqoykipi will not cover any expense during these days but after each project volunteers will receive a pocket money.
