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!

Three thousand words

Hi all. If a picture paints a thousand words these should save me from blogging for a while.

A reminder of the bitter reality, just look how steep those steps are!

Thanks Al you are a star!
I wonder how the folks up around Chiclayo are getting on with the floods. Those aerated roofs will be as much use as a chocolate fireguard. I cant help but wonder how my young friend Alexander is getting on.
