In the high Andes mountains, villagers eat what they grow.  Upwards of 10,000’, what grows best is potatoes.  This limited access to a variety of vegetables drives up infant mortality and forces villagers out to urban areas in search of work and food.  Our program builds greenhouses, so people can grow a variety of food.  The more greenhouses, the better the diets, the healthier the people, and the more sustainable the village.

If you’re looking for a mountain-top experience, this might be the internship for you.  You’ll get the chance to:

• Help train community members through programs and workshops
• Prepare material for workshops
• Learn about the issues villagers face
• Support staff with office work
• Travel to multiple rural communities for several days at a time

Come prepared to live like a native.  Most villages lack running water and electricity, but your help and enthusiasm means an improved community for them. Participants typically intern for 1 - 4 months.
