Campaign Story
Global Volunteer Network has created an opportunity for participants to hike to the ancient city of Machu Picchu while supporting their partner’s Peruvian Hearts Promise Program. The Program is designed to develop the potential for leadership in young girls living in rural Peru.
About GVN
The Global Volunteer Network (GVN) is a non-Government organization that places people in a wide range of opportunities such as teaching or environmental work in a number of countries. I will be working with this organization in Peru, South America and hiking 26 miles on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu beginning August 3. After completion of the trek we will be spending time on different service projects within the Orphanage.
The Purposeful Life
The goal of volunteering in Peru is to offer underprivileged children a future. The hope is to provide these young girls with the basic necessities of life - love, food, clothing and shelter - and also provide them with an education, so they can advance towards the same opportunities as their peers around the world.
In order to prevail in this opportunity, I would like to not only volunteer my time in Peru but provide funds to support the Peruvian Promise Program. I am working hard to raise the funds needed to meet these children and hopefully change their lives in a positive way. Undoubtedly, they will provide me with an equally rewarding experience. If you are able to support the program financially or in any other way, it is greatly appreciated.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the program. I especially thank you for considering a donation to this worthy cause.
Educate a woman and you educate her family.
Educate a girl and you change the future.
