Hello
Hi, my name is Zandra and I live in NE Scotland.
I'm so looking forward to this trip and I'm grateful for this brilliant opportunity to visit Peru. Its a part of the World I've not visited and don't think I would have made it there under any other circumstances...so Thank You Compassion!
I'm a fairly new advocate so I feel a bit cheeky about joining the tour but I know its going to be a life changing experience and I expect and pray that it will fire me up to be a better and more effective advocate.
A bit apprehensive though as I will be leaving my 5 year old son at home with my husband... and they say they have plans!??
Have just booked my flights down to Gatwick and I'm in the middle of vaccinations...Yellow Fever later this week...oohh.
I see its probably going to be warm and humid. Does anyone know if it gets cool in the evenings or is there air con in the hotel? (Not that my expectations are that high, I just don't like being cold!)
See you all at Costas then bright and early, mine's a Fairtrade Cappuccino...
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!

I know how u feel! I am leaving my husband and kids. Its scary! Yes, Make that 2 of those coffees. I hate the cold too, but i think we should be ok as the list said bring ONE jumper!!! Guess that means it won't be too bad. Can't wait to meet you all.
Maria
Ireland!
If you're ordering coffees I'll take one as well so that makes 3. I'll be sleeping overnight in Gatwick and I don't think I'll get much sleep... So order me something that'll keep me awake while I get to know you all.
Al.
Al, you will need a double expresso! Poor you!
Maria
Just regular coffee will do now, not the double espresso because I just booked into an airport hotel for the night so at least I'll get comfortable overnight. Probably won't sleep anyway for the excitement!

O good for you Al. Just had a letter from my little girl that i will meet out there. Her mum has died! I was heartbroken yesterday.
Maria
Oh Maria how sad. I'm with you both in Prayer.
