GLA Service in the Sacred Valley
Donation protected
Hi my name is Lumay. I am raising money so I can participate in a 14 day community service program in August this summer. While I am in Peru I will be volunteering in a small village, learning about public heath issues, and constructing food production systems with an organization called Global Leadership Adventures. This will be my second trip with GLA and I hope to learn a lot more from their amazing mentors and local experts.
In these last few months since my trip to the Dominican, I have been designing a support group for mothers with kids with mental disability. During the time I was planning I realized that I lacked the resources and the experience to create my program fully. This year I have decided to use the GLA platform to learn more about social issues and how to create my programs. I will be going on the Peru: Service in the Sacred Valley, the two-week trip August 1 to August 14th. There I will learn about all of the global issues that affect Peru while experiencing their colorful culture and incredible history. While I am there, I will help make a food system in a local community, learn about the countries ongoing nutrition problems, visit a Non-profit organization and learn about Peru's public health. Also, I will also experience a different culture and discover various historical landmarks. However, most importantly I will get guidance to create my support group and will be inspired to come up with my solutions to global problems.
I might not make a big change to the world, but I would like to think that I am helping one person at the time, one family per project, one community for trip. I want another opportunity to see the smiles of those kids in Dominican Republican when we finished their playground or the very thankful man who had a brand new house. I will spend two week of very hard work in Peru and I am sure that with your help I will be able to bring back some of those moment capture in picture for you to enjoy with me.
I would really appreciate your financial support to help me fundraise for this trip. My final goal is to raise $4000 by the end of March 2017.
