Peru : 2012: May 2011

Changing the face of Peruvian Healthcare

Peru is a third world country, and although it has a medical system in place, Peru lacks the knowledge and resources to function at it's full potential. 40% of the country lives in poverty and it is the upper class who really gets the limited care that the government can offer.

In May 2012, I will be travelling to Peru to help establish medical centres, help doctors with their common practices, help people learn basic first aid (so to an extent they can take care of themselves) and help out with a UN-initiated campaign to spread awareness about HIV/AIDS. I'll be down in Peru for about a month. I'm going through a well-known organization called Nexos Voluntarios (www.nexosvoluntarios.org). In total, my trip will be about $5000. ...And here's where the fundraising comes in.

Summer is HERE.

Summer is here and I'm more than ready to spend the entire time fundraising. Last summer, I raised $1500 in a few months, and I'm ready to beat my record this summer.

Some more door-to-door to follow. As well, I already have a lineup of lovely fundraisers for the fall school year.

Ready for it? Watch me.
