Beginning in the Spring of 2010, MOCHE will be hosting a new twist on the beach for spring break. Spend your mornings helping build the Bello Horizonte Regional Medical Center and your evenings catching some surf and sunsets over the Pacific.

Volunteering |
Volunteers are the bread and butter of any non-profit organization and MOCHE is proud to continue to have the support of a wide variety of community members, business professionals and students here in the US. Some of them help with stateside organization and others travel to Peru to get their hands literally dirty in the field. Each unique contribution makes the whole possible.
Not an archaeologist or a latrines specialist? Great! We would still love for you to join the team!
Of special need right now are volunteers with the following skills: |
|
|

Medical professionals
Accountant (US)

Sponsorship Opportunities |
| MOCHE is proud to be able to offer projects that improve the health and wellbeing of the residents of the Moche Valley. However, these projects run on more than just good will– they require a commitment of labor as well as an initial financial investment in order to break ground. Our projects for 2010 and beyond will require more funds and support than ever before. If you or your company are interested in becoming a sustaining sponsor, we would love to welcome you into our family. |

After successful implementation of the Pilot Latrine Program in the summer of 2009, MOCHE will be working with EWB to install public latrines in local communities. Proper disposal of human waste has the potential to greatly reduce infection rates and improve the overall health- especially of small children. |
| |
Based on the analysis of data collected during the 2009 Public Health Survey, it is our intention to construct and implement a basic health clinic which is both tailored to the needs of the local population and accessible to as many residents as possible. We are currently in negotiation with the town of Bello Horizonte to establish the location and terms. In addition, the architectural firm Honles and Zepeda has donated their services and begun plans for the facility. Naming rights for the clinic are currently available. |
| |
We at MOCHE are looking forward to offering a sponsorship program for children in the valley to attend school. While public education is free in Peru, each students’ family must pay for all books, supplies and uniforms. For families who are struggling to put food on the table, this system puts a staggering number of children outside of the reality of education. Please check back for more information on this program. |
