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!

Peru Press Releases for Advocates

Hello Peru Tour Advocates!

My name is Nikki Sealey and I work in Compassion’s Communications department. I just wanted to drop you a line here to say that I will be giving each of you a phone call either this week or next week regarding some materials I will be sending you in the post when you return from Peru.

We encourage all our Advocates to have a go at gaining some local press coverage about your experience in Peru on your return. To help you with this, we’ll send you a small ‘press pack’ containing a pro forma press release and a list of your local newspapers. Sheena or Clare will take a great photo of you whilst in Peru too so you can send this along with your press release!

I look forward to chatting with you soon.

I'm sure you'll have a wonderful, life-changing experience. Stay well and safe...and all the best for your trip.

Best regards,
Nikki
Communications Specialist, Compassion UK
