The malaria issue seems to be going round in circles - so still unsure what to do. As we can have 2 suitcases of 23kg (unless that has changed as per the hand luggage allowance) had planned to take one for me and one with art materials for the kids. Have put out appeal to friends, clients and at church for donations which have started coming in - at this rate will need lots more cases!!
Anyone have room to take some?
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!

Sorry I can't help either, i'm limited to one case for my Aberdeen Gatwick flight. Please don't laugh when I appear at the airport with my hat on! I'm sure it won't fit in my case. If you are still confused about malaria feel free to call me and I will share what I have been told.
O shame Zandra, I had the same problem with one bag. I have a friend who is good at arranging stuff like that, and she got on to the airline PR department for me, and they allowed it. They had been so definite that i wouldn't be allowed, and I had been so upset.Hopefully it won't fall through for me now last minute!
