"The staff at CCS are amazing to work with: completely organized, knowledgeable, and compassionate toward the cause. In Peru, the CCS staff are all local people who treat you with so much love, teach you so much about their country, and cook great food ... superb!"Mike Mannina, Peru volunteer
The Home-Base in Ayacucho
The Home-Base in Ayacucho is centrally located, just blocks away from the main plaza in town. The house includes a kitchen, dining area, and common space for volunteers. Volunteers are 3-4 in each room. On the roof of the Home-Base overlooking Ayacucho, many volunteers choose to socialize or enjoy time writing in their journals and reflecting on their experience.
Rudy Anyosa, Cross-Cultural Solutions Program Director in Ayacucho, was raised in Ayacucho and says:
"We facilitate volunteers so that they may be involved in hands-on work and the Quechua culture ... we let them have a real immersion in the Peruvian culture."
The CCS staff will make you feel at home during your stay and help you to better understand the culture. Staff cooks prepare typical Peruvian cuisine for the volunteers, and transportation to and from your Volunteer Placement and any Perspectives Programming activities is provided by Cross-Cultural Solutions' licensed drivers.
