I had just left uni (development economics & then impact evaluation) and was looking for entry level internships abroad. I knew that I wanted to work for an NGO to do something worthwhile and I wanted to use the skills I had learnt at uni directly however I could be most useful. I loved LAFF’s model of working through partners who are the experts and know the context intimately. Peru is just the most incredible country to explore: You can take weekend trips to the Pacific, a desert oasis, the Amazon, Bolivian salt flats, of course machu picchu (no matter how hyped up you think it is, it is still more impressive than that)
