    Over het programma

    Volunteers are typically placed in a dental clinic or general health clinic offering dental services in Cusco. The role of volunteers is to assist with day to day functions in the clinic while gaining valuable exposure to dental practice and the healthcare system in Peru.

    Dental volunteers may be asked to:

    • Help out in the reception area with appointments and paperwork
    • Assist with teeth cleaning and check-ups
    • Shadow a dentist or hygienist
    • Teach patients about basic dental hygiene and healthy routines
    • Clean and prepare materials
    Please be prepared to work directly with Spanish-speaking project staff. You are always supported by Maximo Nivel’s in-country coordinators but they are not on site at your project every day.

    The majority of our projects are located in and around Cusco. Travel time varies from project to project, but volunteers can expect to spend 15-40 minutes traveling each way, by either walking or using local buses or taxis. For the first visit to the project volunteers are taken by a Maximo Nivel representative using the local transport and given additional information about how to get to and from your project. Local buses cost approximately S/. 1 (about US$0.50) one way.



    Dagelijkse activiteiten

    Working hours vary according to the needs of the project, but volunteers can expect to work 3-4 hours per day, Monday to Friday, either in the morning or in the afternoon depending on the project.
