Vive Peru's summer volunteer programs


My name is Cami, and I’m a senior studying Health Sciences at Arizona State University. I recently contacted you to spread the word about Vive Peru's summer volunteer programs, and I am writing in hopes you can share this info one more time before our upcoming application deadline (April 1).  

Recently, I participated in Vive Peru's Clinical Medicine program - one of many summer programs Vive Peru has to offer. When I volunteered, I got the chance to live with a host family, work in the community, and hike Machu Picchu.

I would love for other students at your school to have the same experience in a program that interests them! Below is a flyer and more information for you to distribute to your listserv, if you’d like. Thank you in advance for your continuous support.

Best,
