Awaiting Angels's Mission Statement: Awaiting Angels is a non-profit Peruvian organization designed to support and develop volunteer programs in Peru. Our aim is to improve the quality of life for the disadvantaged children and poor people living in impoverished areas through the social and educational projects of our community work. In addition, we seek to provide the volunteers with the opportunity to serve close to our communities in a developing country; and at the same time, they will be able to learn our language and culture.
We provide nurturing care and educational programs based upon the universal concepts of children rights stated by the UNICEF.
We provide services to established Peruvian institutions through our volunteer outreach programs.
