Adopt-a-Village International is a non-profit , non– sectarian, humanitarian organization based in Colo-rado Springs which hopes to provide a hand up, not a hand out to im-poverished villages, spe-cifically in Ecuador and Peru. AaVI has been working in these South American villages since 2003 and has set up medical clinics to treat thousands of people, distribute wheelchairs to immobile people, and build wells for potable water in remote villages. June 8th through the 21st a team of eighteen Do-herty High School students, chaperones, and medi-cal providers will return to Peru to volunteer in another medical excursion. The students will help run clinics teaching basic hygiene care and wellness to the indigenous people around the Amazon River. To help with this effort, please feel free to bring a donation that will be taken to Peru for the medical clinics. Donations can be toothbrushes, tooth paste, band aids, vitamins (children’s, pre-natal, or regular), soap, hand sanitizer and general first-aid items.
