Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to invite friends to be volunteers in Peru to help us to reduce the poverty.
I would be glad to met and help friends from other countries to adapt in to our peruvian culture.

Volunteerism is the expression of an adult faith, which thinks about how to be constructing a civilization of love, for ways of solidarity, to serving especially the neediest persons.
