MySmallHelpDear Mysmallhelp trustees and friends,

As you all know the Casa Hogar del Sol is urgently in need of funds to raise money to continue the Cuylandia project here in Peru.

I am writing to see if anyone would be able to help us with fundraising by donating funds directly to sell books through the volunteer house and other networks here and abroad. Many people have been interested in purchasing the book that Meg designed on Blurb  and sent to us here in Peru. Unfortunately it is extremely expensive to get these books out here and therefore near impossible to be able to sell them and make a profit on them here.

Cristian and I went to visit a printer shop in Cusco on Friday  to find out about costs of printing the book which Megan printed on blurb. We were told that they could make the book in even better quality for a minimum of $5 per copy (if we print 1000). They showed us other printing materials that they have produced for organizations such as World Vision.

Cristian would really like to print a photo book about the Casa Hogar del Sol projects to help raise funds and raise awareness of our work as well as his photography. We have found out that the minimum print run of 200 copies would cost about $7 to print here in Peru ($1400 in total). I believe that we would be able to sell the book here for about $14 making 100% margin.

Printing the Casa Hogar del Sol photo book will not only help Casa Hogar del Sol to raise funds but will also help Cristian with his photography career (which is part of our project aim).

Please can you let me know your thoughts and if anyone would be interested in ordering some of the books to try and sell during the run up to Christmas.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon

Kindest regards

Leander
