Hello, my name is Grace Leckey and I'm a high school student in South Burlington, Vermont. I am hoping to raise money towards a service trip for the summer of 2018 to the Sacred Valley in Peru. While there, I'll be staying in a small village outside the City of Urubamba. Over 40 hours of community service will be spent assisting a preapproved drinkable water project for our host families and the other members of the village and those near it to improve health conditions and quality of life.

This trip would mean the world to me and to the people of those villages to be able to go, and I would be forever humbled and grateful to be in the presence of such serene nature and to be able to benefit someone so greatly, even if it was just one person.
