HUARAZ

SEEDS OF HOPE CENTRE AND SCHOOL

The Seeds of Hope school in Huaraz was opened in March 2006. We now help around 50 children aged between 6 and 18. We hold our school in a small house with 3 classrooms, a kitchen where we make food for the children and a bathroom where they can wash themselves. There is also a garden where the children plant vegetables and can play out safely after class. The children receive help with schoolwork from Monday to Thursday and on Friday we play sports with them. Some weekends we take the children out on trips into the countryside surrounding Huaraz to do sports and games.

ABOUT HUARAZ

Huaraz is one of the best places in South America to enjoy superb mountain scenery and plenty of outdoor activities such as trekking, mountain climbing, mountain biking, skiing and rafting. It's also a great place for the less adventurous, who enjoy going for day walks and exploring the villages and their lively markets. The setting of the city, at the foot of the Cordillera Blanca, is spectacular. You can see over 20 snow-capped peaks over 5000 meters, of which the most notable is Huascaran (6,768m), the highest mountain in Peru. Huaraz has two main mountain ranges, easily reached by public transport – the snow-capped mountains of the Cordillera Blanca (White Mountains) to the east and the Cordillera Negra (Black Mountains) to the west. Huaraz can provide all the facilities and infrastructure required by volunteers - just about everything you need is on or near the main street, Calle Luzuriaga, including restaurants, tour operators and agencies, banks and the post office.
