Our volunteers in Peru are in great spirits and have made good progress on the assessment of the irrigation project. Here’s a post we received a week ago from the travel team:

“Greetings from Peru. We have spent a couple of days here in Huaraz getting acclimated to the altitude and preparing project materials. We’ve been enjoying the beautiful views in the middle of the Andes mountains, and tomorrow we’re heading into the project community of Huasta.”

Happy New Year from the Greater Austin Chapter!  Thank you for everyone’s hard work and support in 2012!  We look forward to another successful year to come.

The Peru Travel Team kicked off their assessment trip on December 30th and the Panama Travel Team leaves tomorrow morning.  Wish them a safe and successful journey!

Amazing!

It’s only Dec 4 and we have already reached half of our fundraising goal! That’s right, the big 5-0!

There’s still plenty of time to continue donating. Why stop at our goal if we can do better?
