Lima houses roughly a third of Peru's entire population so i'ts no wonder it cuts a somewhat untidy figure as it bursts at the seams. Such a big city in such a small country, Lima has experienced the predictable invasion of people from the countryside in search of a better life. As a result, parts of the city have become very overcrowded and resources cant stretch to meet the needs of everyone. The schools we work with need volunteers to teach English to their students, as they have very limited budgets.
