    Over het programma

    We place our volunteers in different child care organization in Sucre. Volunteers can work at a nursery with young children, they can work at daycare centers for disadvantaged families, they can help in children's homes, they can work at after-school centers. You can inform us about your preferences and we will place you accordingly.

    Children at the nursery are between 2 and 6 years old. The institutions’ aim is to educate the children in a safe and secure atmosphere, preparing them well for their school life. Some nursery schools have a special program to teach mental and physically disabled children.

    Children in the children‘s homes are aged up to 10 years. They either do not have a family, families cannot care for them or they have been abandoned by their families for different reasons. Volunteers support the institutions’ aim to care for these children, giving them as much affection and attention as possible with the hope that they can break the circle of violence and rejection.

    Children in daycare centers are typically  up to 6 years old, and there are about 30 children per center (numbers may vary!). Many children come to the daycare because their families work long or unusual hours. The daycare center's aim is to take care of the children, provide them with nutritious meals, and organize fun activities and games.

    The after-school centers offer free educational support to children and adolescents from 6 to 15 years. On average, each center takes care of 60 to 100 children (number may vary!). They help children and teens with their homework and give them support and advice concerning problems they encounter in their everyday lives.

    Dagelijkse activiteiten

    During your volunteer program in Bolivia, you will either work in a nursery school, a children‘s home, a daycare center, or an after-school center in Sucre. In any of these volunteer organizations, you will carry out a wide variety of tasks. You will take care of the children and support the teachers and/or caretakers depending on the place that you choose. You will organize educational activities and games such as singing songs, dancing, drawing pictures, doing crafts, and teaching basics like colors and numbers, basic hygiene, respect and values.

    If your Spanish skills allow it, you can even teach simple mathematics, chemistry, languages, geography, history, science, etc. In addition, it is also possible to teach the children how to play instruments and do sports in order to strengthen their self-confidence. 

    The children who already go to school always require assistance with their homework, so you will be able to give them advice and guidance through any problems. Generally, you need to be creative, open-minded, and ready to help wherever your assistance is needed.

    Please keep in mind that many of these children and their families (if they have a family) are very poor and live in harsh conditions with a very low standard of living. Please be modest, friendly, compassionate, and warm-hearted when volunteering in Bolivia.

    Note: The tasks may vary. They depend on factors such as number of volunteers, weather, season, current needs of the project, as well as self-motivation. Not every volunteer may be fully involved in all these tasks.

    Over de organisatie

    South America Inside promotes intercultural, linguistic and educational exchanges. Its volunteer programs are addressed to students, professionals and retirees.

    Ontmoet je organisatie

    South America Inside is an intercultural management agency, founded back in 2003, which specializes in the promotion of programs abroad, language travel and educational programs throughout Latin America.

    Since 2007, to enrich the experience of our global-minded clients and to provide them with even more possibilities, South America Inside has been expanding their program offerings throughout South and Central America.

    Working together with some of the best language schools in Latin America, South America Inside provides high quality language courses in almost every Latin American country.

    Thanks to a professional team of motivated and friendly staff, South America Inside has been very successful over the past several years and have been able to establish an outstanding network of what we call "Insider Contacts." To enrich the experience of their clients and to provide them with more possibilities, South America Inside has been expanding our program offerings throughout Central and South America, in addition to our well-established Chilean programs.

    Volunteer Work

    Do you dream of staying abroad while doing something positive? Are you looking for a unique experience that will leave a mark on your life? Then a Volunteer Work program in South America or Central America is perfect for you!

    With South America Inside you can combine an adventure abroad with social commitment, and create lasting memories in Latin America. Support the protection of endangered species; help a local community construct new homes; give new hope to impoverished children.

    The possibilities to lend a hand are diverse, as there are the many places where help is needed. We have classified our volunteer projects in different areas so you can easily find the one (or more!) projects that best match your needs and interests.

    Why with us

    There are many persuasive reasons that speak in favor of South America Inside when it comes to selecting your perfect provider of language, study and volunteer travel abroad. Following, we have prepared a short summary so that you can get us to know a little better.

    Our Insider benefits at a glance:

      Regional Experience
    Over one decade (established in 2003) of dedication to language, work and study travel programs in Latin America. Thanks to our long standing work and life experience in the South American continent, we know this region really well. Therefore, we can help and inform you in a professional and competent way.

      Multifaceted Offers
    Over time we have developed new programs to offer a wide array of work abroad opportunities to our clients. We have been pioneers in launching new exchange programs, as we have been the first in offering Work & Travel/Working Holiday and Farm Stays in Chile and successfully introduced these programs into the market back in 2005. Since 2012, we are the only agency to offer this type of program in Costa Rica.

      Insider Advice
    Despite living in the modern era of the internet, we know that reliable and competent advice is still an important criterion for most of us. At South America Inside, you will find the benefits of an internet provider and an independent travel agency. We will be glad to pass on our extensive knowledge and regional experience.!

      Location
    It is difficult to run programs when there is nobody “on the ground” to evaluate existing options and search for new opportunities. So, we are located in Chile, on location, and we know everything that is going on first hand. We know what it is like to live as a foreigner in South America and will be happy to assist you in making your stay unforgettable!

      Independence
    South America Inside is an independent provider of language courses, internships, volunteer work, Farm Stays and Work & Travel programs in Latin America. We neither depend financially nor structurally on any other company, language school, association or organization. Therefore, we are able to give personalized information in accordance to your needs and availability.

    •  Multilingual Team

    Our team is multilingual and international! We speak fluent English, Spanish and German, as well as some French and Portuguese. With our customers, we can communicate in their native language and we avoid misunderstandings with local partners by communicating in Spanish with them. You can be sure that there will be an English-speaking contact person for you before, during, and after your stay.

      Customer Service
    Excellent customer service is one of the most important goals for South America Inside, and this is evident with the positive feedback we regularly receive from our many happy clients. Emails are answered within 48 business hours and every client is treated with the same friendliness and expertise.

      Gapless and Accurate Information flow
    With South America Inside you will have one and the same contact person before, during and after your trip. With that said, we guarantee a gapless and accurate information flow and you will always be very well informed.

      Approved Program Places
    Many of our program places, especially in the area of internships and volunteer work, are designed in the way that they will be recognized by most universities, colleges or academies.
