On Sunday morning, I will be leaving for a 9-day trip to Peru; 6 days of which will be for work, 3 days of which will be for fun (not that work isn't fun!).
The work part includes leading a delegation of Friends of the World Food Program staff, and a group of key volunteers, from around the United States, to observe United Nations World Food Program (WFP) operations in the field.
We will be spending most of our time at 14,000 feet in the Ayacucho region of the Andes mountains, visiting programs which build capacity and self-sufficiency, and, quite simply, feed, communities who are living on less than a dollar a day.
For me, the highlight of the trip will be spending the night in the homes of the families we serve. I believe the name of the village that I'll be staying in is Chakiccocha. Thanks to Ted for lending me his sleeping bag!
Stay tuned for postings and photos of my trip to Peru!
