Why have I decided to do this?

My mother approached me months ago with a volunteer opportunity for anyone I knew.  A friend of hers had started a non-profit organization and needed volunteers to make a trip to Peru.  I had taken the information and given it to a friend who had promised to get it to her sociology teacher.  I never thought of myself.  My mother approached me a few weeks ago and asked if I thought this trip would be something I would want to do?  I am remembering constantly thinking how neat it would be to do a trip like this.  I remembered reading with such interest a family friend's adventures abroad.  I just never thought I could put it together.  I decided to stop thinking about it and just do it.  Jeramie has told me he will still be here when I return and the house will still be standing.  He promises to take care of the giant dogs, turtle, cat, and fish while I am gone.  What else can I ask for?  I have a giant support group who would never have let me pass up this opportunity.  I have savings I will be using and am hoping to receive donations as well to help with the costs.   PERU HERE I COME!
