Dreadlock Shearin!

Please support Steve Mckay as he chops off his famous dreadlocks to benefit the Wara Association. After climbing Machu Picchu to raise money for the Peruvian Children's Fund and spending time at a local community center and orphanage, Steve has decided to take action once again. He will be sacrificing his amazing dreadlocks with just one goal in mind - to raise money to support Peruvian children.

"I guess how this came about is from a cafe conversation with two work colleagues. I was doing my usual rant of being deplored by western excesses and feeling I wasn't doing enough to correct the imbalances etc etc, when I hit upon the notion of sacrificing something. With Peru becoming a memory and Nepal months away I needed to do something else. One of the girls offered to donate cash if I lopped off the dreads. At first it seemed like a big sacrifice for a few bucks but as the idea festered the notion grew and while the donations are yet to commence, many have pledged support. I guess it comes down to doing what you can and if lopping off some filthy dreads will get the kiddies cash, then hey why not." says Steve.

The GVN Foundation is proud to be working with Steve, Valerie, Peruvian Hearts and the Wara Association to assist in their fundraising. We hope to facilitate the donation process by providing an English speaking contact, tax receipts for US donors and a way for donors to donate online.
