Next year I will be setting off on a life changing journey.
I will be living and serving in Peru for six months with Tearfund and WARMIS. Along with a team of six other young adults, determined to live a life for God, I will be a part of the work in Cajamarca a rural town in the Northern Highlands of Peru .
- Everybody farms in the countryside around Cajamarca. What little land people have is used to grow potatoes and rear a few animals, but production is low, and it’s a tough market. What makes life even harder are the unpredictable rains caused by climate change, the soil degradation and range of pests which destroy whole harvests. The result is that many families are left struggling to survive. And yet this is a community that is bursting with potential. People there love life and are determined not just to survive but to improve their lives. They want progress and to see their potential fulfilled, just like the rest of us - See more at: http://www.tearfund.org/en-sc/give/see_for_yourself/latin_america/more_about_cajamarca/#sthash.XuuW6VdL.dpuf
