Hey Guys,
I am glad to see that people are still blogging!! I have been checking in now and again but havent written anything...i think i am still trying to find the words to describe how i feel since coming back. Its weird but i find it really difficult to talk about the experience we had in Peru, all i can manage to tell people is, it was an eye opening experience and remind them to write to their children. I can think of no other words to say.
My heart was impacted in such an amazing way, i just think my brain isnt able to translate it quite yet. Praise God though, i have managed to get 3 children sponsors since i came back...maybe thats not alot compared to others (my social circle is limited right now) but i am so happy for those kids!! and i am sure you share in my joy.
I'm getting back to normality now, looking for a job and i think i have found a church that i would like to get to know a bit better, which is great, knowing no christians in this country has been a little suffocating for me..but things can only get better!! Plus once i have establish myself i will bombard them all with compassion and make sure we get those sponsor numbers up :)
Al, if your making CD's of ur photos cud u pop one my way!! Wud greatly appreciate it, if it is not too much trouble.
As for everyone else, God bless, i am praying for you and please do keep in contact.
All the Best
Caz
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!

hi Caz
yeh me too. I'm truly feeling like an Alien in a strange land.
Good on you for 3 sponsors. Only 1 from me.
Take care
Ya, only 1 for me too! Gosh i thought it was just me feeling the way i do. Its hard to talk about it. Its like my heart took it all in when i was there, and is now sending it to my brain, or maybe its the other way round. I don't know but i feel like I'm in a daze all the time... and sad. Caz so good to hear from you girl, keep up the contact. God Bless.
i am glad i am not the only one feeling this way. it is comforting to know i am reacting in a normalish way lol.
