Andy, You are in Peru - So am I (use your magic program to check it out - in Trujillo today, but next week in Lima). Right at this moment you are somewhere near where a few of your HoboTravelers are working to help some really poor kids get a better life. How do I know you are there, because we have such places where you are likely to be. What I want you to do please - no, what I challenge you to do - is come by and see for yourself how easy it is to make a big positive impact on a really poor kid's life: if you just give it a try.
The reason I challenge you to do this is that quite a lot has been written on your web site about us and our work, mostly good, some bad. The bad has discouraged quite a few HoboTravelers from joining us. The bad was said by travelers who, apparently, did not really come to get their clothes dirty helping dirty kids (maybe they saw us as an affordable feel good roadside attraction on their tour agenda); but when they got here and found us up to our elboes dealing with the lice and smelly bodies of abandoned children and loving every minute of it: this flew in the face of their prejudices, maybe cynicism - they opted out. And they have been fighting their consciences ever since in the only way they know how to: by posting harmfull messages about us on forums such as HoboTraveler. Reading their messages has disuaded not a few HoboTravelers from joining us.
So, Andy, if you are in Cusco, for instance, just open our Cusco page, get the address and come see what's happening: http://volunteercusco.com
When you get to Huaraz: http://volunteerhuaraz.com
Before you hop on your plane in Lima: http://lima-volunteers.info
Or if you swing by Trujillo: http://volunteertrujillo.com
You won't be disappointed you did it...
Hope you like Peru.
