A very big Thank You !! to my sponsors, together we raised $1590 for Pisco Sin Fronteras !
If you read my previous emails you will know that I spent some time at "Pisco Sin Fronteras", in Pisco, Peru, helping build homes for people who lost everything in a disastrous earthquake in 2007 (many are still living in tents in poor conditions).
Their website: http://www.piscosinfronteras.org/index.html
I wanted to support them and thought they were a worthy cause because;
1) Nobody draws a salary, all are volunteers, including organisers and administrators.
2) All the volunteers, there, cover their own expenses (food & accomodation) plus a bit more to cover the general administration.
This means that money given will get spent on tools, none is wasted on admin or marketing or any other miscellaneous expenses, it goes directly to helping someone get somewhere to live.
