I'm excited to join business friends in supporting SOS Children’s Villages as my charity of choice for the trek to Machu Picchu in June 2013. SOS Children’s Villages provides abandoned, orphaned and vulnerable children with a loving, caring and secure family environment by matching children with SOS mothers. The SOS parents are locally hired and extensively trained to provide a family for these vulnerable children. SOS Children’s Villages also keeps families together through their Family Strengthening Programs. Skills training and community development work help parents to become self-sufficient and prevent child abandonment.

It is exciting to experience the history of Peru and of the INCA world. The anticipation of meeting descendants of the INCA’s and to view the beauty and raw wilderness of the Great Andes. We will trek to and from the height of Machu Picchu to the western edge of the Amazon Basin. We will travel from Ottawa to Cusco, Peru, about 1/6 the circumference of our planet. From 250 feet to 13,000 feet in altitude. From Canada 2013 to Peru 2013, English to Spanish, from the comfort of accessible water, food and shelter to basic survival. I don’t know what I will learn or who I will meet, but it is a privilege to join with Dream Mountain to support the work of SOS Children’s Villages. Please help me support SOS Children’s Villages with a generous donation, to give children the opportunity to grow up safe and become self-sufficient, better citizens and better parents!
Thank you!
