The Idea

This January 2011, I will be following in my older brother Mike's footsteps and embarking on a 2 week service trip to Lima, Peru through a program called Global Volunteers (globalvolunteers.org) based in St. Paul, MN. While I am there, I will work at an orphanage with Peruvian children. To raise money for my trip, I am going do a series of paintings with a Peru theme - some of these will be done using the pictures taken while Mike was there last year and other paintings I am using pictures taken from the Internet. These paintings will be auctioned off at the end of the summer with all donations helping to fund my trip. Check out my brother Mike's blog (greattransversalofminnesota.blogspot.com) for details about his Great Transversal of Minnesota fundraiser for Peruvian orphans and the inspiration behind this project.
