« I’ve been at My Small Help for almost a month, and I have really enjoyed, and valued, my time here. Working with the children has been amazing, and I’ve loved living in the sociable volunteer house. Ollantaytambo, with its wonderful people, is a very easy place to call home. »» » » »

Jess Garvey
Jess Garvey, 24 years old, from Ireland. Occupational Therapist, volunteer for one month.
I arrived in Ollantaytambo just one week ago, a charming and quaint Peruvian village in the Sacred Valley. I am staying here for just over a month and I am already sad at the thoughts of leaving! The volunteer work here is amazing and extremely rewarding. Every day is so different and in just one short week I have met so many interesting and inspiring characters. I really enjoy working with the children, both on the school bus and on an individual level. There is great support and encouragement given within the organization and the social house is a really fun place to live, always a friendly face to have a cup of tea with! I have received nothing but warm welcomes from the people of Ollantaytambo and would encourage anyone looking for an exciting and fulfilling volunteer experience to sign up straight away!”

Bernadette Crowley
Bernadette Crowley, 28 years old, from Ireland. Intensive care nurse, volunteer for one month.

“My time in Ollantaytambo, a picturesque village in the heart of the Sacred Valley (near Machu Picchu) has been amazing. Behind the scene of this tourist village, I was shocked at the conditions the people of Ollantaytambo survive in. The work of My Small Help is infinitive. The kindness, generosity and friendliness of My Small Help has helped to make big differences in the life of those that need it.”
