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,
--Mai Lee
