Hello Friends and Family!

Wow, what a year it has been. As you know, I was scheduled to travel to Nepal in the summer of 2020, but due to the pandemic, the trip was cancelled. It has been up in the air whether or not we would be able to go this summer, and I have been working on my community service hours recently just in case. Sadly, I learned just recently that Covid is still very active in Nepal and flights are unavailable, so YouthIinc has decided to divert my humanitarian trip to Peru. I am so excited to be able to still participate in the humanitarian trip and I will be leaving July 9th! Right now Peru's hospitals (specifically in Iquitos, which is the largest city near our team site) are NOT overwhelmed, community spread is stable, and vaccination efforts are moving swiftly forward in the country as a whole. 

I am really looking forward to this life changing experience in Peru and gaining a better understanding of different cultures. Being able to help those in need has always been something I have enjoyed doing. Of the people living in Peru, over 20% are living below the poverty line, and I hope to be able to help in some way. I will be working in the village of Nuevo San Juan. There will be community health fairs, vocational training, English teaching, home visits, and plenty of cultural exchange opportunities for me. I am very excited to learn from the people in Peru and I am sure I will get just as much out of this partnership as they will (if not more).

The total cost of my trip to Peru is $3799 and I need to raise this amount by June 1st. I am asking you for help to reach my goal. Please consider donating to my humanitarian trip, which is tax deductable. Thank you in advance!

Sincerely,

Colin Little
