Well, here is the start of this journey. The one of starting a blog and sharing my experiences as they come.
Things are in full swing for Peru. Our departure date of May 29th is fast approaching with a few days of training beforehand back east first. The complete logistics are still being finalized but I will be sure to share the details once I have them.
What I do know so far is:
a) My initial project runs for 6 weeks; from May 29th to July 11th.
b) I will be staying on afterwards for 4 to 6 weeks to: help out at a shanty town school, hike Machu Picchu, meet a shamen in Cuzco, travel to Ecuador, visit Lake Titicaca and La Paz. All these are options and nothing is set in stone.
c) Fundraising has been a success so far with most of the $3,000 raised at the evening event "Agua". Thank you to everyone who came out or helped support in their own way.
d) The online fundraising thermometer isn't reflecting the current total. It is definitely more than $325!
e) I am working on getting sponsorship from either Nikon/Canon/Sony for a digital SLR. My goal is to create a fantastic slideshow upon my return so that I can share my experience with everyone.
So that's all for now. It is late. Buenos noches!
About Me
- Hopes Travels
- Why "Hopes Travels"? My middle name is Esperance which means "hope" in french (similarily, "harapan" means hope in Bahasa Melayu). Those who know me, know that I hope for a more tolerant and trusting world. One filled with genuine curiosity for things unknown and a joy to enrich our lives with new experiences. I live and attempt to share this hope and zest for life with all whom I meet.
