Cost: $3000 (but worth it!)
Description: This was a very powerful and lasting experience. Ayacucho is a city with a rich history but unfortunately, a lot of problems pertaining to poverty and education. Cross Cultural Solutions is a fantastic organization that provides volunteers with a safe and secure house to live in (with a cook!) and has countless opportunities. To name a few, volunteers can teach in rural schools (as I did), work in moving clinics, or work in the kitchen of an orphanage.
Field Notes: I highly recommend Cross Cultural Solutions, whether in Peru or any of the countries they work in.

$3000 but so so worth it. I began a 5 month tour of China with a volunteer placement with CCS in Xi'an. As well as the amazing experience of the placement itself; the knowledge of chinese culture, language and games proved invaluable during the rest of my trip.
