I need your help! For those of you who may not know, I’m currently volunteering with a non-profit organization in Trujillo, Peru. This organization, SKIP (Supporting Kids in Peru), works with 144 families--over 550 individuals--in one of the impoverished communities of Trujillo, called El Porvenir. Through SKIP’s services, disadvantaged families are provided with valuable educational, financial, social and emotional support. Right now, we are planning and raising support for the grand Cena de Navidad (Christmas Dinner) celebration coming up in December. This event usually consists of a large "family" dinner, time for fellowshipping with one another and lots of fun activities for both parents and children. We are also hoping to give out little gifts to everyone this year. The reason this event is so significant is that it allows the families to have a real, meaningful Christmas when they otherwise would not be able to. My goal was to raise $1000 to cover the cost of food. Due to the generosity of many, this has been achieved!! Thank you so much to those who gave. Of course, if you'd still like to donate something, please do. Any extra money will be used to purchase gifts for all of the children. These families deserve to have a special Christmas. Let's give them the best one yet! If you would like to learn more about SKIP, please check out their website at www.skipperu.org . If you’d like to get updates about my trip or have any questions, feel free to email me at mwylde418@gmail.com. Thank you so much for your help!  Close
