My story

I visited the refuge at Zapallal for the second time in 2003 and was amazed at the changes since my first stay three years earlier. A new dormitory, a garden area, proper toilet facilities - even a shower! It's fantastic what they've been able to achieve.

Though many of the children I first met have moved on, there was one girl who recognised me in 2003 - Rachel. She told me how her brother, David had found himself a job and how he comes to the refuge once a month, not just to see his sister, but with sweets for the children and to help out at the refuge.

I can't praise the work that everyone has done at the refuge enough and what's more, it involves Peruvians themselves - some of the most generous people I've met. I enjoy every opportunity I get to give something back and hope you can help in this aim to support Project Peru and the children at Zapallal!

Ps - there's a good chance I'll be running in fancy dress again this year - in 2001, it was Speedy Gonzalez with Peruvian colours. I've got some ideas, but I'm open to suggestions, but they must be CONSPICUOUS!!! (I have only a small amount of shame)

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Project Peru will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
