"In this dream, I have traveled many miles to a small village in Peru. To this underpriviledged community, I gave a school, my efforts, and my compassion; yet it was I who received the most."
- Ashley Walker, 2007 participant

Thanks to overwhelming support from the Woodstock area community, Project Peru 2005/2007, have built two schools on the Amazon River in Peru ,San Juan de Huashalado in 2007 and Cabo Pantoja in 2005 . By using local fundraisers WUHS raised over $53,000 for the building costs and $15,000 for a wells.  Donations are now being accepted for a clinic addition, medical supplies, and another well, and to provide scholarships for students who may otherwise not have the opportunity to go to Peru. This years goal is $20,000 for the project. The effort is overseen by School staff, parents, and community members. A team of twenty-six students as well as nine chaperones will be going to Peru in February 2009 to begin work. With the help of a local people, the Vermonters will spend two weeks rebuilding the clinic, making improvements to the schools and the community.
