Hello!
I aim to raise £1500 to donate to Project Peru. I plan to go to the children's refuge the project runs during my gap year for three months or so; I will hopefully be setting off for Peru in Janurary 2010 so I've got lots of time to raise money!
Please give generously, this money is not for my plane ticket/living expenses etc. it is for the running of the children's refuge, sending the 32 children to school, feeding them, keeping them healthy and allowing them to have a lot of fun. Project Peru is a unique charity in that it only spends 2% of its money on overheads, much less than other charities, everyone in the UK who works for Project Peru does so voluntarily. The charity also allows the communities it works with in the slums outside Lima to be in charge of their own affairs, people are given the dignity, independance and respect they deserve.
If you are a friend then please come along to my fundraising events that I plan too!

Thank you very very much
Alex
