Peru : 2012: July 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 Begins

So I did some research and it turns out that I am allowed to sell all my homemade paper jewelry at Tamtams (Parc Mont Royal) each Sunday!

Come out to support Peruvian Health Care!

Even if you don't buy anything, come on by and say hello! I should be there all day :)
