Project Report | Oct 18, 2016
People are wonderful! That includes you. :)

By Matt Webber | Director

Greetings amazing Global Giving community!

Typically when we submit our quarterly reports we focus on our own efforts and the efforts of our partners on the ground to make sure that the Perros Project continues to thrive. This time we would like to highlight the efforts of one stranger to support our work. Earlier this month when we went to send our monthly thank yous to donors an unusual transaction caught Matt’s eye. Someone who had been traveling in South America had witnessed a number of sick and vulnerable dogs during their trip. Instead of feeling sorry for the dogs but doing nothing, this person sought out a way to help – and Global Giving provided that way. Using a fund-raising tool on the Global Giving website, this stranger reached out to their community in an effort to raise $300. Last we checked, they were only $40 from their goal! When we stopped to think about it, this moment reflected the amazing power of strangers, a long line of strangers each helping one another to do more good in the world. The money raised by this fundraiser will be used to support the growing shelter Huanchaco. Specifically, funds will go to food, shelter improvements and a part-time staff member (see photos below). In so doing, their funds not only help the street dogs of Huanchaco, but also provide support to a young Peruvian who cares about these animals and will be a future voice of compassion in the community. We cannot thank Global Giving enough for making these connections possible.

Oh yeah, one short note about the website - we're slowly in the process of updating/redoing it. 

With gratitude,

Courtney & Matt
