Volunteerism

Here's a story about how members of the Changemakers community are promoting volunteerism in Peru:

In Peru, where half the population lives below the poverty line, there will always be plenty of work for the country’s many willing volunteers. The challenge is finding them, connecting them to the causes they care about, and organizing those efforts to make an impact.

Peruvians haven’t been strangers to helping others; one out three Peruvians already do some kind of volunteering during the year (as opposed to only 26% in the United States). Until recently, many just hadn’t thought of themselves as “volunteers.”
