After hosting our most successful hat and glove fundraiser to date in December, we've started to focus our attention on the summer.
Most notably, we've set some concrete travel plans! This year, we've bumped up our departure date to shortly after school lets out on May 6th and will be returning a month later on June 6th. Even though this is a smaller window of time than we'd normally like to have in Puno, we've already commenced plotting the most efficient approach to continue our clean burning stove initiative. This includes possible collaborations with fellow UM student groups BLUElab and M-HEAL as well as longer stays with our friends in Huanuscuro in an attempt to minimize the lengthy commute to the campo. As always, we'll be staying with Fredy for a majority of the trip and — although our main focus will be on the stoves — we will continue to maintain our connections at the school, the hospital, and the orphanage, as much as time allows.
In preparation for the summer, we will be making a big fundraising push to raise money for project costs while in Puno. This will include a Bake Sale on March 22 from 9am-4pm in Mason Hall, and our annual Art Show on April 5th and 6th from 10am-4pm in the Pond Room of the Union with a preview night at Sava's on April 4th. If you or anyone you know has art they would like to donate, please contact ps@umich.edu. Any and all mediums are welcome.
