Welcome to the Advocates' Peru Tour website.

Here you can keep up to date with the activities of our group of advocates as we travel to Peru from the 5th to the 16th of February 2008 to see the work of Compassion.
Advocates are sponsors with a heart for our ministry who volunteer some of their time on an ongoing basis to promote Compassion in their churches and within their spheres of influence.

The team will spend time meeting staff and children in projects, visiting the homes of Compassion sponsored children, seeing how the country office operates and meeting formerly sponsored children. We will try to update the site each day whilst we are in Peru and we hope you find it interesting. Enjoy!

Hello everyone! I am really looking forward to going to Peru with you all to see the amazing work that Compassion is doing there. I've not been outside of Europe before so it is going to be a real adventure for me! I've just booked my yellow fever vaccination and now I'm wondering whether I'm going to need a dengue fever vaccination as well - any advice would be much appreciated! See you soon.

Hi Tim
I dont think there is a Dengue fever vaccine available, you just have to avoid being bitten by 'urban daytime mossies' (Ae. aegypti type) apparently. Hopefully there won't be too many of them around but I think a 50% DEET skin repellant is suggested and 100% for clothing if you want a belt and braces approach and also for avoiding Yellow Fever etc.
