Volunteer Abroad Provider adds Services in Peru and Reviews Nepal

Global Crossroad Volunteers, the leading volunteer abroad services provider has made public its intent to increase its presence in Peru. The Latin American destination is one of the providers most popular volunteer destination. With teaching english as second language (TEFL) and cultural meaningful volunteering programs topping the list of popular products. With political unrest that Nepal has experienced, Global Crossroad, had sent one of its program managers to review the security situation as well as the organization's procedures.

Global Crossroad has entered in consultations with several Peruvian non profit (NGO's) cultural organizations to set the stage for an increase in the number of volunteer in Peru programs it offers its clients. The programs are mainly targeting restoration efforts around the Cusco, Urubamba, Lima, and Junin. "The Andean Conservation is a conservation/cultural program. Candidates who volunteer in Peru have the opportunity to live in local native communities with families,volunteers learn about their traditions and help in the farms in agriculture, construction of housing, with the animals etc."Volunteers have the chance to help very economically disadvantaged communities and help them preserve their customs.

Recent political instability in Nepal and deposition of King Guyanendra after 239 years of monarchy ruling, Global Crossroad management raised security concerns and dispatched one of its managers to assess risk. All indications seem to point at a non-violent transition and a natural exercise of the democratic process unfolding itself. The non profit organization does not have any political affiliation nor have no position on the present event other than its concern for the safety of its volunteers and to make sure that the procedures in place are correct.
