Benjamin McGee, ProPeru NGO Intern

Ben spent five months of his gap year between high school and college with us at ProPeru. Ben worked in nearby Chichubamba on the Agrotourism project—arriving at a crucial moment of transition and development.

Ben coordinated with the community to help perfect the goods and services provided, gathered content for a webpage, reached out to travel agencies in Cusco to promote the project and took leadership in other areas to help jumpstart the project. Ben’s passion and commitment were palpable and evident in the strong friendships he was able to make with members of the community and with the ProPeru staff.
