Neutrogena Face Cleanser During Pregnancy

report by Gabi on Casa Belén

Casa Belen, a social work of the Evangelical Lutheran Church German, Lima, Peru, is located in Brena, a poor district of Lima. The day care serves in the period of 8 to 16 clock, Monday to Friday, about 180 children from poor backgrounds aged between 1 and 11 years. Their mothers are often alone and thanks to Casa Belén have a job.

Besides age-appropriate, educational assistance and support from trained teachers, the children receive a balanced diet. A social worker has also maintained among others through home visits, contacts with families. Regular medical care of children is secured by a pediatrician. Difficult cases are supervised by a psychologist. Casa Belen is financed (domestic Bethlehem) solely by donations from Germany, to support the "Children's Emergency Relief" (Duisburg) as well as donations and collections from the German community in Lima.

I worked for three months at Casa Belen as a volunteer.

In itself, the body very nicely and the children are well cared for. They are very happy and it gave me a lot of fun to work with children. The staff is also very charming and it's been used many volunteers. Solid knowledge of English are essential, as failure on the good cooperation and communication should not be a permanent replacement is very important and wetrtvoll. Of course, the employees very much understanding and patience, but if the language is powerful, it is easier to take residence in a team or group.

I have worked in the group of the 1.5-2-year-olds. Since the groups consist of 20-25 children, much more help is needed. Add to my areas of activity included changing diapers, feeding, sleeping place, players and coaches. In the other groups already older and more independent so that children account for tasks such as winding and feeding.

As a volunteer you are a right hand as a way to understand the teacher. It would require preparation of material for craft programs, get food from the kitchen and Tischabwischen the standard program.

The daily schedule is through well structured. Between the different meal times (breakfast, fruit snack, lunch and another snack) will take place the morning program, such as crafts, painting, dancing, teaching sessions and small games. After lunch all the children sleep from 13-15h. Since time for a break, your own lunch, cleaning up and other preparation program.

Overall I have enjoyed my Voluntärzeit at Casa Belen and learned very much in the areas of pedagogy, education and in dealing with children.

are almost always volunteers (support) needed and anyone who feels to work with young children, is in the nursery just right. I can recommend a voluntary social activities at Casa Belen, said the period is three months in the same body I think the right place and sufficient (in general in Lima).

With a loving greeting, GABI

Review Julia

Why Volunteer work / internship / volunteer / Zivi to Lima, Peru?
In the 10th Class came up with the idea, the desire with me, my 11th to spend a year abroad. Thus I came by encouraging a friend to the area South America. Thus, it should to Bolivia (La Paz go), but ultimately did not work. I consoled myself with the time after school, 3 years later. Very detailed but still without much success so I was looking for projects / Voluntärstellen the internet, and I but met with almost exclusively breakneck "offers" of up to 11,000 €. Leafing through an old magazine I came across an article from Lima Children's Home. In the photo a volunteer was shown a specified contact address. I reported to the organization and so was Lima, Peru as the target. Also, I would not think of another Latin American country can, Peru but I was somehow always the most well known.


What have you presented to you from your stay here, what were your expectations?
Lima, Peru: had told the truth, I do not really any idea what to expect. Mainly been checking the temperature, so the right to pack, I arrived in Lima. Although I had heard of shopping centers, fitness centers, internet cafes, etc., but I would niemlas this magnitude presented. The entire skyscrapers, the traffic (Via Expresa, Evitamiento) were things that went hand in hand for me at all with the "behind worldly" Peru. So I was thinking more and more the province of Peru with my image of Lima.

Volunteer: regard to the volunteer work I had already experienced some bad things shortly before. Ca. 3 weeks before departure visited my girlfriend (at the time and future volunteer; Lena Köver) and I am a former a volunteer, which we already reported on the prevailing problems in the children's homes. For Lena and I was therefore in advance of a possible project Changing the rear head. Unfortunately, we went through the preliminary information set very negative approach to work. In the end, but nothing changed, even with optimistic thoughts later, at the beginning of difficult situation.



What was or is it now that you're here also in terms of expectations?
In the end I am therefore very surprised that one here can quite "normal" life and must have the "picture" of the folks back home (friends / family) smile very often. Of course there are huge differences depending on quarter, but first you can but a "European" living with one or the other constraints (water, sanitation), but also benefits (very cheap food (fruit)!) Live.

As for poverty, I had already seen pictures here, the issues addressed in the school. Now I'm just happy to be "Middle" was spoken with the people have to. The first time for me in a "pueblo joven" was very impressive, hard, but I quickly realized that here we can feel safer than some in the city center (-> character of the village).


What do you take for you?
Since I've worked up into different projects, there are some very different things that I take with me.

SAL eV (orphanage) : This project clearly shows me the importance of a good organization, is a framework for volunteer assignments. The responsible couple in Germany is unfortunately only a financing role. You do not know what is going on in the homes and therefore, the employees a free hand, which amounts to a very one-side, subjective action / access to the children. Americans often came to visit with her big "gift bags". This invited them off and disappeared. Already here, I started thinking more about sustainability of social projects.

Visita especial (family visits): This work helped me to more clearly independent, as I sometimes alone in the pueblos jóvenes moving. I got a very personal insight into the situation of people in these slums, but also recognize individual differences. Some are struggling and some fall in poverty and see many opportunities to improve the situation (not more). The disabled child swinging single, it is very sad how few opportunities there are for them. Here I particularly was very conscious of the need. The children have met with me a lot of love, ideas and joy. I feel in dealing with people with disabilities now safer, initial fears are gone and I am aware that disabled people are like you and me. We all just have our differences.


Aynimundo (Kindertaller): Work in this project has influenced me in many ways as I respect a lot of project organization, Waldorfpaedagogik have learned what for me an even more field was unknown. In particular, the cooperation, support to the German children's relief was very interesting to witness, as just a foster child project is built. The issue of sustainability was here again a very different role. The exchange with the teacher Lyggia that had previously been in Germany, has produced a very interesting cultural exchange.

What you would have done differently, what would you want to give to newcomers?
I would have to try everything in my English and want. But just getting started in a German 4-MaedelWG this was quite difficult! I am grateful and glad to have changed my project. I give all volunteers the advice to be open, "feel relax and just to many (though not all things) involved, because this results in the most exciting and most experiences.

How could you imagine an unexpected support each other to present here in Lima?
I have a regular exchange of trainees of different projects are very important and valuable. Even as the 1st Help would be super
(where is the Connect Cafe,?))

Visita Especial

In "Visita Especial" is an individual care of families with disabled children living in a suburb of Lima called Villa el Salvador . Often lack financial resources to encourage the children, often with the fact that disabled people are often not considered eligible. They are considered as a burden, punishment. Because of the Eco-silo project, we have become aware of this issue and therefore the project "Visita Especial". Currently, the project comprises two families, who are ever visited once a week, there are more families on a waiting list. The Nachmmittage divided into integrated immersive time with the child (crafts, play and talk) and a final interview with the mother. The
been put volunteers to work so independently, and consider them in consultation with the Kunsttherapeuthin Michael Kroschel. The goal is to find the promotion and support of the child, an overview of families with disabled children to get to know their situation and their needs in order to draw conclusions and consequences to initiate next steps to support (projects, self-help, etc.).

Review Nanja

Preguntas de la Reunión de conexión de los Voluntarios

first ¿Por qué viniste para tu voluntariado / practica / trabajo social a Lima, Peru?
He Venido a Piura, Peru. En el colegio tenia la idea de país por otra Irme a bastante tiempo, to do something different after 14 years of school and to learn about another part of the world, another culture, etc. I had the idea of going to South Africa because I thought it would be easy because they speak English there, but then I noticed how much that would also be an advantage of this experience if you learn a new language. So I decided I wanted to go to Latin America, I read a little about every country and Peru was what interested me most because it is a country with such diversity, such as the coast, mountains and forests, different landscapes, climates, cultures etc. I was with an organization called AFS, I choose which Peru and they decided to place inside the country, which was Piura.

2. How you imagined your stay here, what you'd expect?
know new things, new friends, a different culture and having a new experience. Learn Castilian and try to help a little volunteer work.

3. How is it now for you because you are here (also on your expectations)?

(The experience, the exchange program mid-year was in 2003. He returned in 2005 to travel two months and now I'm in Peru for the third time for my thesis research). It was a time

that really was a new experience, a difficult time in various forms. Hard to start new lives elsewhere and meet new people, difficult to learn the Castilian and difficult to miss my family and friends. But it was also time that I've learned a lot and I had many beautiful moments. I lived with a family and after 6 months really seem like my family, I found new friends, I have traveled and met many beautiful and interesting places, etc. In the NGO where I worked, a shelter for abandoned children. I have learned a lot from them, language and other things, but unfortunately I feel like they have not learned so much from me. I sat very useful, in some ways if I think I've helped a little but not much.

4. What do you have for you at home (experiences, learning etc.)?
I've seen enough poverty and social problems, but also many beautiful things and met other cultures and customs, which is really an asset. I learned a new language, although it was difficult. I learned that I can start a new life in another country, you can start all over again.

5. What would you have done differently, what would you advise other learners?
I think the most important is the language. It is difficult to study before you leave, it is because I also tried but have not done it at last. It's because I was working half a year before and did not find the time to do it, so I came to Peru without saying anything of Castilian, could count to ten, colors and really knew nothing else. I think if I learned a bit more of Castilian that if I could help some more.

6. How could you imagine the mutual support here in Lima?
imagine mutual support and the volunteer are giving their time and work and give him or her is to experience a new place, other cultures etc.

7. Anything you need you'd want to stay here (eg regular meetings, a place of cultural exchange etc.)?
Although not the main reason for coming, I think if it's nice to find or meet with other volunteers to share experience and exchange ideas, but when volunteers from several countries because they are obliged to speak Castilian between them and also an exchange of cultures.

I find it important to dedicate ourselves to the question of sustainability of volunteer work. The impulses that lead you to your projects, work and efforts have begun - how can they be sustained?
I think that each volunteer brings the experience and the project in his heart and mind. But sometimes they do not know how to continue their support, and I do not know, but I think it's important and we must find a way to do it. Perhaps

talking about the continuation of a project is important if the volunteer writes his experience, ideas etc. and leave on the next one coming, so efforts can build.

Warum zur Freiwilligenarbeit / Praktikum / Volontariat / Zivi nach Lima, Peru?
Also, ich werd mich jetzt teilweise wohl Wiederholen

Dass ich fuer mein letztendlich FSJ im Ausland in Lima gelandet bin mehr oder weniger Zufall war. Ich wollte the chance to make Zivi abroad to be able to use and learn the other side of the world a bit. Out of so-called "western world", a reality to know that has to do with the familiar and not much know most of them only from reports, but for a large part of humanity, everyday life is. I wanted to learn, share, and offer my help where I thought it might be useful.

Well, South America was somehow clear from the outset. On the one hand because of the reputation that South America has the South American flair, on the other hand, because I'm looking for a country such as one in Africa have not felt ready, because there certainly much more severe again Realities prevail. And in South America, Peru has me most interested in - why can not say I really, more an irrational feeling. So I'm here schwerpunktmaessig advertised, but certainly also in some neighboring countries. I then has a place here promised, and so am I came here.

What you have presented to you from your stay here, what were your expectations?
a bit I just got the above cut already. Just get to know another side of the world at all, learn new things, to encourage the smallest level of an exchange of cultures and greater mutual understanding. to offer my help, where they and is used by one another, a Justice only if tiny step towards a balance towards a Learning together in a more peaceful future to make. A new country, a new culture, learning a new language.

What was or is it now that you're including with respect to the expectations?
that Lima is ugly - in front of me had previously warned that the whole world and I had just seen more as a challenge and opportunity that focus to be on interpersonal encounters, rather than leave the beach and palm trees divert large. When I was here, I was surprised even more positive because soo ugly I found it now and not interesting wars all times. It was more modern than I expected, at least in some parts, but also expected by the stark contrasts as. It was also not as dangerous as everyone had warned me before, even in the aspect of a positive surprise.

regard my first job, however, had not met my expectations completely. Especially in a country with such extreme social contrasts, it was to live anything but in a sense, in Miraflores and San Isidro to work in order to offer my help to the rich part of the population who has not financially necessary. The work with the children was interesting, but the whole affair was just the opposite of what I wanted. Therefore, to change my decision and I what to look new.

In Aynimundo my ideas and reasons to come here are made much better. The only disadvantage, in that we are for Ayni appeared so unexpectedly and surprisingly out of nowhere, there was at least in the beginning no real tasks for us and it has only used his time, until I searched my job and found my place, had sometimes accompanied of the feeling, not really useful to be able to. I assume however that this is for future volunteers will be different, since even now the idea Ayni would like to deepen with the volunteer work and just that at all are now prepared and can miteinplanen.

What do you take for you?
course a lot of valuable experiences and memories. Aspects of a new country, new culture, a different reality, different perspectives, different priorities, different values, and and and (where each "and" not for is "blablabla", but each for mean to be a valuable experience). have

experiences and new perspectives that will surely Change customer my future life and certainly even now something changed in me. But well, that one can not as an outsider not so good judge and you'll get even with the first Nachherein and over time.

The recognition that voluntary service to a much greater extent than assumed the volunteer benefits and significantly less than expected of the institution or group of people with which you work, or any good to help you ...

English course, as a new language, which I had no idea before now and I still can talk quite well. The Love for Peru, I'll also home with. And be sure to come back.

And the will, the volunteer year is not on 22 to leave in July end, but I continue to use the thing and the like. also

And Hoarwoerschdd.

What you would have done differently, what would you want to give to newcomers?
learn more English before! As much as possible and as much as possible! The vast majority of tasks only work with good communication, with a better and better. And no nothing.

And of course I would have to inform me before in more detail what exactly is that for a job, I'm getting at, and should be much more critical. Then would be the "Miss passage", the confusion does not happen. However, one learns from every experience and somewhere everything has its good and its meaning.

on the site Note: Just out of this situation with a lack of accurate information or not is of course tschaebere this information pool. We are on the right track ...

How could you imagine an Unerstuetzung with each other to present here in Lima?
I'm not the one who keeps a close contact with fellow countrymen patency for absolutely needed if I'm in another country kennzulernen to new.

But in any case makes great sense in my eyes is to take out and to share experiences, to coordinate things, new ideas have or to discover and develop reflexionieren, the focus of wide ... Through the exchange with other projects to take new ideas into your own project. Information exchanges and communication with future volunteers.

And so I think it's great that we do now to get started and I am hopeful that this is where a stimulating, constructive and informative network, and will help where I can.

experience of Martin

Why Volunteer work / internship / volunteer / Zivi to Lima, Peru?

ins abroad I would in any case, that was clear, away from Germany and that as far as possible. South America is so far away really nu. peru but I did not, I went to the project, which was actually in puerto maldonado, organic farming. then it was: we did nothing more, but in Lima is also something else. thought: good, lima, close to the sea, big city, they want something different for a country person like me.

What you have presented to you from your stay here, what were your expectations?

imagination was before the above mentioned: Near the sea, relaxed, because the whole day in this maedchenschule where I do gardening and some recycling lessons. 've talked to my predecessor, sounds very good. as it then was: in school is no longer a difficult start because behind it lie, and as I was then virtually put in the parish and alois me as some of his ideas vorsinnte, I knew that would not at all more, what to think. Disabled school because it was said, not bad, because I was supposed to do, especially the garden.

What was or is it now that you're including with respect to the expectations?

things turned out differently than expected. I work in the area muellverwertung and by no means in a fixed facility but the whole day in the street. I introduce for Alois eigenstaenig projects through (if I may say so), I have a great responsibility and work, because constantly people with the Spoken

What will you take for you?

another life. I got to know another culture and try to understand them. This did not make the time, but learned a lot from it: to question things, not easy to accept. see distinguish "poverty," critical. put theory into practice, to think more practically. More than act, think and speak. Exploit opportunities to be spontaneous. A whole bunch of things ... I can absolutely not list everything. There's still so much that is not here, that it is bad really, at all, a list, because I want to stress anything, just because my other grad not think of anything ...

What you would have done differently, what would you want to give to newcomers?
I would have brought more warm clothes. I also would want to give to a newbie's: Take warm clothing! Lima is not as Caribbean, as one might think ... I've always seen my life as a transition stage, therefore, virtually always sat on packed suitcases, comparable to the situation of a refugee. Maybe I would have been more able to engage in the situation, took more friends, or give me with the people. I have withdrawn instead rather than with Germans, I did not want much do I have, yes Finally, here in Peru. Of course it was and remained always a transition period, but to do this - I think - nice if you can not see it as such.

How could you imagine an Unerstuetzung with each other to present here in Lima?

So, as we are doing. Always good - I think - an overlap between pre-and successor. Such was aimed at me, possibly because of late but not high school. After all, the starting time will be very difficult one, is one of the beginners with not enough support. I had then Alois.

Periodical meetings are good to exchange ideas, as well a website. Accordingly, only a salute to the authors of the questionnaire: Keep it up!

What ails you the most?

I lack peace above all, but that will probably be difficult to get ... The cultural exchange was missing me - talks as I'm used to from the home formed, there were relatively rare.

How can we support the sustainability of your projects?

sustainability I see, especially in an overlap of forward and succeed, which I think is very important. In my case, I see but dark brown, but first can come ... Otherwise I have to just leave my legacy in written form and the new work itself - if such a place at all. I think these are a continuing my work with a Volontari / community service was inappropriate, as would tend to fall back on domestic forces. This is because the training is simply too expensive, until it is right in there is a third of the time around and then he goes back soon. Continuity is different. What I do useful in my opinion, is the exploration of a new zone by those like me who can pass his job after a national power.

support as ideal as mentioned by the intersection and, if not meoglich, by the most accurate documentation of work done and explain this to his successor. And of course the continued availability.
