Our staff in Bolivia is the part of Amparo in direct contact with the girls we work with. They all have a long term commitment and recognize God has called them to be serving at Amparo. They carry out day to day operations and are in touch with the girls constantly. We are honored to have a beautiful blend of ages, walks of life and areas of expertise. At Amparo we are seeking a true family environment, 100% of our staff is national.

Permanent Volunteers

They are key part of our manpower on the ground. They give voluntarily up to 20 hours a week and have a mid-term commitment with Amparo. It’s important to note that almost all our staff began as volunteers. Then, in time, God confirmed their calling. Their service progressed and decided to commit to long term service.
