About us
We are currently 3 guys who came to Peru to have a little fun, adventure, learn Spanish, and do our part to improve the world. What happened was we saw a huge place of need, and along with the need, a great opportunity to begin a solution. As each of us started off as volunteers in Peru, in projects that we are working to support, we came to realize what great things that volunteers and the project and organizations they work for can accomplish, with a little support. These organizations and projects often have great goals, but acquiring much of the finances necessary can be difficult, particularly in these poor countries. Additionally, volunteering is not cheap for most, especially considering air ticket costs and that many volunteers are students or recent graduates. For these reasons we have created Volunteer Cause. It started as simple volunteer party to raise funds to provide a decent Christmas treat for the poor children of one project, evolved into an exciting idea, and has now been born into existence, and hopefully a successful one! |
