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!

Christopher Corbet from Shropshire


I see Clare has asked us to introduce ourselves. Well I am Christopher - yes all 3 syllables, if you please; but don't worry if you forget.
Last year I was a farmer but I have just managed to give it up. It is an expensive and unrewarding habit being a farmer and you lose much less cash and you waste much less time spreading the Gospel.


I come from an Anglican parish church in deep countryside with a congregation of 11. Prayer book services are all that most of the congregation are prepared to hear and they do like the King James Version.
Rather than bore you with my face I enclose a picture of Islay, the spaniel.

Hi Christopher,
Love the dog and scenery! Now I know where Shropshire is but confess to having to Google it to find out. It must be a fine place to live.

Hi Christopher,

I think I'll be sharing a room with you in Peru so allow me to introduce myself in a virtual kinda way via this blog! My name's Tim, I'm 26 and I live in the Medway Towns in North Kent. I work for Imperial College in London in project management and administration.

I've never been outside Europe before so Peru will be a great adventure for me!

Look forward to meeting you next Tuesday morning.
