Why Youth Service and Philanthropy?
Peruvian Hearts works to inspire young people to get involved in service and philanthropy. We believe in the power of young people to change the world. We also believe that service has the power to transform the lives of those who participate. Giving to others builds self-esteem and provides rewards that are deep and meaningful.
