Charly Nguyen and Prima Sung recently completed a three-week volunteer teaching program in Peru.

They were assigned to a service in El Rimac, north of downtown, teaching English to a group of about 15 children.

Charly is an MBA student concentrating in international business. Prima, from Hong Kong, is also a graduate student living in Hempstead, New York.

Charly just sent us some feedback and photos about the experience:

I had a wonderful time in Peru, especially with the kids. They were absolutely wonderful. This experience definitely has changed me and I hope to impact some of the kids in some way. I would love to volunteer again.

The host family was amazingly nice and fantastic. Prima and I had such a great time with them. [Our Coordinator] Celia was such a great help with everything.

We did have time to do some sightseeing and traveling also. We had a chance on the weekends to see much of Peru. One weekend was dedicated to Lima, the next was up to Churin and the last weekend we spent at Cuzco (where Machu Picchu is). Thank you for a wonderful experience.
