    I am 18 years or older


    Entry-levelMid-levelAdvancedI do not speak Spanish


    If I do not speak Spanish at the time of my acceptance, I agree to take Spanish classes in Peru (at my own expense) during my stay.

    I understand that this is a working experience and not a vacation.

    I understand that this experience will place me in direct, close relationship with the village people of Maras and neighboring villages, but not with the medicine people.

    I agree, if it is requested, to pay for certain materials I may need to perform my volunteer duties. (Once accepted as a volunteer we will give you as much detail as we can about this contingency.)

    I understand that as a volunteer I will cover my personal expenses while in Peru. (Once you are accepted as a volunteer, we will give you details on what to expect in terms of personal expenses for your stay as a volunteer in Maras.)

    For more information: contact ARI Board Member Tatjana Herrera.
