Fees Reduced to Draw More Volunteers

The Voluntraveler team has decided to draw more attention to Máncora by reducing the volunteer fees from $499 USD/week to $375 USD/week - that's 25%! We believe that this will create a greater interest and bring more volunteers to the north coast. Peru currently sees, by some estimates, 40% of global volunteers, but most of the programs and projects are based in and around Lima and Cusco, with few volunteers venturing into the outlying regions. Consequently the Peruvian government efforts and funding are concentrated there as well, leaving places like Máncora sorely neglected. Although the region has seen a recent boom in tourism, the local community has benefited little from the incoming tourist dollars.

We want to bring more volunteers to Máncora and through their fees, continue to support PaM's community programs to expand to other communities and help more people. If you are thinking about traveling and spending some time volunteering, there has never been a better time to do so with Voluntraveler!
