	This placement would suit... Someone who never tires of kids and who wants to rapidly improve their Spanish. Join Project Quest in South America on our Peru children's project, in the shanty-town of Villa Maria in Lima. Quest has been working in Villa Maria for over 10 years. Volunteers provide sports and creative activities to give children the focus and attention that they both need and deserve. You will organise the children’s time into a wide range of activities from football and swimming to arts and crafts, water fights and theatre. Its exhausting work but the reward is when you see their beaming smiles! The help you provide brings much needed fun and laughter to the lives of disadvantaged children in this poverty stricken part of Peru. Help is also needed for maintenance of playgrounds, school buildings, sound equipment etc. Placements are for a minimum of two weeks and a maximum of eight months. The project is open from April to December every year and can accommodate up to 10 volunteers at a time. NB: A basic knowledge of Spanish is required. Quest can help you arrange a course in the UK or in Peru before the placement starts. Why Quest Overseas? Quite simply because we have the best reputation in the gap year market. We are second to none when it comes to safety, value for money and downright fun! We've also raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for our charities overseas and we have long-term commitments to our project sites.
