Hey guys, remember when I used todrive you nuts encourage you to donate to the American Cancer Society or the Children’s Miracle Network?
It’s that time again!
This May, all of the volunteers from my region will be uniting to work on a very special project– bringing together 60 teenage girls for a 3-day leadership camp, with the theme of “Peace of Mind, Body, and Environment.”
These annual camps (one for girls, one for boys) are unparalleled opportunities for young female leaders to come together and meet like-minded peers as well as a group of adults who are invested in their physical, mental and spiritual growth. In a country where 50% of the population is under 25, these camps are, in essence, contributing to the future of the nation.
Activities and topics include a career fair, aptitude test, recycled arts workshops, trash management trainings, sexual education sessions and leadership habit development. In addition to helpful life skill sessions, our camps give teens a safe and inviting space to share who they are and where they see themselves in the future. The camps foster an environment for sharing highly personal topics, things they can’t really express as normal youth in Peruvian society.
Here’s where you come in. A significant portion of the camp’s budget (40%) is coming from local community contributions and donated support. But the rest, $2,200, volunteers are fundraising through the following link. All donations made through this link are secure through the Peace Corps website and tax-deductible.
Please help us meet our fundraising needs! The Peace Corps Volunteers of Lambayeque, Peru and our adolescent campers thank you!! Any questions feel free to email me or you can read more about the project in the donation link.
