Voluntourism is an investment you can make in yourself, as well as in the well-being of the world around you.

What we at VIVE4U offer is simple: We seek to match up travelers who are willing to share needed skills, expertise, and labor with specific needs of the community. This match is highly customized to the individual, according to what each visitor wishes to experience and offer. We offer a one-of-a-kind travel experience that broaden's one's horizons, provides opportunities for real-world application of skills, and returns deep satisfaction that transcends self-interests.

Customization is the Key: We work with each client individually to best assess what they wish to do, how they can best contribute, and organize the specific activities they wish to take part in. We then network with the local community to make it happen. Each visitor's experence will be unique and tailor-made for them. One can volunteer time and skills in any degree that is comfortable.

VIVE4U is currently organizing and scheduling projects to start in September of 2009.

We uphold a solemn respect for the local culture and community: We have no desire to promote corporate development practices here. We do not wish to change the basic character of Vilcabamba, but only wish to bring elements that would benefit the local people.

We are all about personal transformation: It is no accident that Vilcabamba is home to many beautiful wild butterlies, as well as other wonderful creatures of an unspoiled natural habitat. We consider this little-visited valley a place of great spiritual transformation. Vilcabamba is the home of several artists, musicians, healers, spiritual practitioners, and workers of inner and outer transformation. There are many here who are committed to creating personal, local, and global benefits for all.

We are dedicated to creating balanced, win–win relationships between our traveler clients and the local Vilcabamba community. We are committed to being a positive presence in the community that contributes, enhances, uplifts, and elevates the well-being of the people living here.
