UPDATE

Hello Everyone

I hope your summer is off to a great start. I’d like to take just a few minutes to update you all on my fundraising and Peru Mission. Though raising money isn’t the most fun I’ve ever had, it has been a joy to share with many of you about what is going on in Trujillo.

I have just spoken to some of my future colleagues in Trujillo, and I’m

encouraged by continued developments. A former Peru Mission team adm
inistrator has

proposed an economic p
lan to establish production facility that will

employ carpenters to produce Peruvian woodwork for export to

the United States to be
reinvested in Trujillo. Construction and

expansion are
underway for clinics, churches and schools, all

desperately needed in this poor country.

Growth in Trujillo has been made possible through Peru Mission. I will be an integral part of this growth process by teaching English, mentoring young people, and providing leadership to the young women in the school and city. I am convinced that this is a vital work. Please partner with me.

I have raised 25% of my $10,000 goal. My target date to leave is August 15, so time is passing quickly.

I am asking for 70 donors willing to give $100 in June or July or to commit to giving $10 dollars a month for the next 10 months. I would like to remind you that your donations are covering the cost of living- $500 per month, the plane ticket, costs related to teaching, and health insurance. All gifts are tax-deductible.


You are a blessing,

Katie Gaylor
