We are excited to announce that for every order placed on statravel.com on Monday, June 22, 2009, $7 will be donated to support a project providing children in Peru with warm meals, help with their schoolwork and life skills coaching, including sewing, cooking, music, and English.

Machu Picchu in Peru

In addition to donating $7 to the project for all online orders on June 22, we will match all donations made online, in STA Travel Stores and via our National Call Center (800.781.4040) to the project from June 22 until June 28.

Customers who purchase from statravel.com on June 22, will automatically have $7 donated by STA Travel to the project in their name and do not have to take any additional steps. Those who wish to make a direct donation to the project and have STA Travel match their donation can do so by visiting statravel.com/planeterra.

The Peru Streetkids Project

All donations – both from online orders and the direct donations – go to support our Peru Streetkids Project. We send hundreds of travelers to the site of the project in Cuzco, Peru, to volunteer every year and we are now providing travelers with an opportunity to support the project monetarily.

No matter the amount of the donation, each donation goes a long way towards providing the necessary materials, food and life skills that these children need.

• $5 purchases pens and notebooks for five children
• $10 provides materials for the jewelry making workshop – the main source of income – to make up to 25 bracelets
• $26 purchases food to feed all the children at the center for one day

The Peru Streetkids Project is our first sponsorship of such a volunteer project and demonstrates our commitment to leaving the countries that our customers and employees visit better than when they arrived.
