SOUTHERN PERU

Work Environment, Housing, Meals

The villages are very small. The houses are made out of adobe, which means
dirt floors and walls. The streets are also all dirt. It will be dusty and dry. The
weather will be pleasant during the day with lots of sunshine but very cold at
night.

There will be no showers or indoor bathrooms. As soon as the orphanage is

completed this will change, but for now, it’s all outside!

Meals: Bring protein bars and Propel drink mix. In the mornings we will have
eggs and fixings for breakfast. There will be hot coffee available. If you do not
like this option, you can bring instant oatmeal. At lunch there is bread (and
cheese) available in the tiendas. Dinner each evening will be hot and large.
