To celebrate my 50th birthday, I wanted to do something that would take me right out of my comfort zone and at the same time enable me to help someone in need. Volunteering at an orphanage ticked these boxes! Having a Peruvian daughter-in-law made the decision of where to go easy. So six of us are heading off to Lima, Peru in December to volunteer in an orphanage that has over 70 children. One of us is a doctor who will be providing clinics for the children and the rest of us will be helping with the day to day care of the babies and children and helping with maintenance and repairs to the orphanage. But this is where we need your help! We need your money to buy shoes, clothes, nappies and baby milk, amongst other essentials. Any amount you can give will be a huge help! Bare in mind that £5 is worth nearly £25 in Peru - that will buy a LOT of milk and nappies! Thank you in advance for your support. I'll be so grateful and I know the children will be too!
