We are an organization run by me (Tino Leoncio) and my family. We live in Huancayo, one of the poorest cities in Peru, and find it our duty to help the poorest children as much as we can. To accomplish this we created a program that enables us to provide help to a big group of children.
We welcome volunteers of all nationalities who would like to help us in carrying out our mission. The most valuable asset our volunteers provide is their time and commitment to bettering our community. Any special skills a volunteer might have will of course as well be used to the full.
We are based in the town in of Huancayo, Peru which is located in the PeruvianAndesMountains.There is a high level of poverty in Huancayo caused by the terrorism in the 1990s, the weak Peruvian economy as well as the low quality in the educational system. (Tinkuy Peru works with orphaned children and poor families in different areas to promote community development.)
Our reward is seeing smiles on the faces of the children we are trying to help as well as providing an increased awareness among the people of the community.We appreciate any and all time our volunteers can give.
