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!

Hi Caz.
Rainy and hot you think in Peru? It'll just be like summer in Ireland, then. Home from home!
So, do you think we should pack both T-shirts AND welly boots?
Al.
Dont know about welly boots..lol havnt even started thinking about what i am going to pack...perhaps a little shopping trip is in order :)
Hi Caz,
Welcome to Kent - my home county! It must be pretty different to Gib.
I live in Gillingham with my brother and work up in London. I am so excited about seeing what Compassion is doing in Peru. I am ok with Spanish, but if I have any problems, I'll know who to call on!
Look forward to meeting you next Tuesday!
