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!

Just a quick blog


Hi all.
I hope you are all feeling well and settling back in to your routine as best you can. I just started back today and it took a little effort, I can tell you.
I don't want to say a whole lot but I feel I want to keep the blog going for a while yet, it still has value as a forum for sharing the pictures we all took. I have included a couple here as memory joggers.
Al.
