Hi all.
I'm Alastair - but you can call me Al - like the Paul Simon song! I live in Lisburn, Northern Ireland and I am delighted to have the opportunity to be going to Peru with Compassion. I have been an Advocate just over a year. My wife Ruth and I sponsor a girl in Peru and I am really looking forward to meeting her. I'm also looking forward to meeting you all on 5 February and swapping stories. Tim was asking about the innocluations - I'm not sure - I just told my Doctor where I was going and he gave me 2 jabs containing a multitude of stuff. I have to go back in January for Yellow Fever and also get Malaria Tablets. Your own Doctor would have your own history and will know if you need something specific or just a booster.
Anyway, I'll catch up with you all soon. God bless you and your families for the great Kingdom work you're involved in.
Al.
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!
