1. Shots - This is a foreign country and some shots are recommended. You can check the front line Peru web site (www.frontlineperu.org) or call a travel clinic to make sure what is needed (Marietta Community Health Center #770-514-2485).
2. Passports - Everyone will need an in date passport to get in and out of Peru so make sure you get one soon ((VERY IMPORTANT we have had two cases already with a expired passport in Guatemala and one last year with one arriving the split second we left for Peru last year)).
3. Special Needs - We will be working with kids who need love more than anything. However if you know a dentist or someone who has their own business that might be willing to donate something please let me know.
4. Customs - Every country is unique and diffrent so if you get a chance look up and read about Peru.
5. Shopping - We will have some time to visit a local market to shop. Make sure to make a list of sponsors and bring a little extra money to support the locals. (Also if you plan to exchange your money it is best to do so in Peru there was a charge for it in the Atlanta airport but no charge in the lima airport.).
6. Fund raising - I know that this trip seems expensive but God WILL provide. There are people who wish to help out who are unable to go so make sure to give them a chance to be apart. If you need sample support letters let me know.
7. Prayer - None of this happens without prayer. Everything we do must be covered with God and his Blessings so please be in Prayer.
We will be having as many meetings as needed. If you are unable to attend please keep in touch thru e-mail. I hope you all are excited about what God will show us and hope He will use us.
