Our Day at the Spa event was highly successful and ultra classy, bringing in many more supporters for The Peru Project. There were hand and feet massages, and a successful silent auction--all of which contributed greatly to our fund! The girls in the club acted as the waiters, serving appetizers and mini desserts to the guests who enjoyed a wonderful evening of being pampered. There was also entertainment brought by the club members; Liyanna Sadowsky mesmerized the crowd with her heavenly plucking of her harp, and Mai Lee and Mira Malcolm wowed the crowd with a Billy Joel classic, "Vienna."
It was an awesome event for both the girls and the guests, and it definitely gave us a great funding boost!
Thank you so much for all of those who were able to attend. It was an amazing event, and your contribution to our club was greatly appreciated.
Only NINE DAYS LEFT! We're almost about to take off on this wonderful journey. Thanks for coming along with us!
We'll keep you posted,

Only 2 weeks left until departure!!
In just 13 days, 15 of us will leave for Lima, Peru, in hopes of making a difference in the lives of many people (including ourselves!). We will be visiting the extremely isolated and impoverished village of Ccachin, located in the Andes Mountains to build greenhouses in order to improve the health conditions of the citizens. This trip will also be a women's empowerment movement, as this year, the club consists of all girls. With the degrading of women in these kinds of societies, it will be truly inspirational and motivational to the women suffering from prejudice.
All said, we just want to establish a great relationship with these people from a whole different world.
But there are still tons of things to get done...
We are planning on having a club shopping run, invading everywhere from Costco to Target to buy things we are planning on donating to the people of Ccachin. Some examples of things we're bringing include: toothbrushes/toothpaste, hairbrush, stuffed animals, soccer balls, frisbees, craft kits, school supplies, and etc.
It's time for the girls to infiltrate the stores!! ;)
We'll keep you posted,
