Me gustaría mostrarles un video de la clinica donde voy a trabajar en Cuzco Peru Clinic video Estoy muy emocionada y voy a tratar de contar algo de nuestra aventura a menudo.
Por favor, corregid mi español. ¡Muchas gracias!

¡Casi lo olvido! Estoy tan feliz por tí, Sandy. Esta va a ser una gran experiencia para tí y tú también podrás escuchar diferentes tipos de acentos españoles por allá. Además, tu español ha mejorado tanto que estoy seguro que no vas a tener muchos problemas para comunicarte en Perú.
Al principio te va a tomar un tiempo acostumbrarte al acento peruano, pero luego de uno o dos días ya no tendrás muchos problemas para entenderlos. La mayoría de los peruanos hablan muy claro (aunque rápido, como todo hispanohablante, jaja).
¡Felicitaciones y espero que sea un gran viaje y una gran experiencia! 
Puedo imaginarme lo emocionada que estás 
y por favor, intenta contarnos tanto como puedas sobre tu viaje y estadía allá (por cierto, no olvides sacar fotografías, eh!).
Un gran abrazo y muchísima suerte, Sandy. Estoy muy contento por tí porque ese día lo has estado esperando hace harto tiempo.
A propósito, mi cumpleaños es dos días antes (15 de Agosto), jejeje.
¡Qué grandioso será tenerte en nuestro país vecino en tan poco tiempo!
Go for it !
Cuídate sanlee, ¡que tengas una maravillosa estancia allí y que te diviertas!
Sandy,
It is such an honour to be able to call you a friend. I am so excited for you. What a life-changing experience it's going to be.
I hope you'll be able to keep us posted somehow on how things are going, although I imagine that most of the time you'll be flat-out "like a lizard drinking" 
besos y abrazos querida ....
(oh and "flat-out" - extremely busy/not much time for anything else...)
I'm soooooooooo jealous Sandy! Have a fantastic time. When you come back you be correcting all our Spanish
Oh, by the way, say hello to Paddington Bear for me lol 
Have you heard of him in America?
Sandy, I echo the thoughts of Vicente...
¡Felicitaciones y espero que sea un gran viaje y una gran experiencia!
I watched the video (thanks for sharing). I had absolutely no idea that this was a problem in Peru. I also thought that the people of Peru were better off financially, although this could be just a certain area of poverty in the country. How long will you be there and what specifically will you be doing?
I'm not sure if this is your first experience doing something like this, but you will definitely be touched and also rewarded in a million ways you never imagined. I have been experiencing first hand and also hearing dozens of stories about the horrors of inadequate health care and/or emergency services in the Dominican Republic.
Each year, so many people die or are permanently handicapped due to the poverty and lack of services and supplies in the mountains of Jarabacoa, where I have been staying. The missionaries we are helping have personally found a minimum of a dozen (they actually lost count) people lying on the side of the road after an accident and had to place them in their own car and drive them down the mountain to Santiago or La Vega which is approximately 45 minutes away. It is really making me stop to think of how many people in the world die decades before they should or are permanently disfigured or handicapped for life....all because of poverty and lack of services, medicine and the proper facilities. The sorrow can almost consume us at times.
I applaud you for going and for serving the people of Peru. I have two friends from Lima and the people of this country are extremely warm and friendly. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers while we are doing something different, but similar in many ways a bit further north in the Caribbean. You have a kind heart. That in combination with your knowledge of Spanish is going to be such a blessing to the people of Peru, and especially to the women who are suffering unnecessarily from cervical cancer.
I hope and pray that you will accomplish everything necessary before the 17th. I know just how nerve wracking that can be. You will find yourself being able to retain so much more of what you learn because as discussed in the island thread, when you are emotionally invested or experiencing something on a personal level, you remember with much greater ease. You will probably remember the person and situation involved with many new words and phrases you learn.
Sorry for the long winded thread. It is just that this sort of trip is near and dear to my heart.
Happpy for you, and jealous at the same time. Great opportunity, total immersion in the environment including the language. Keep us posted. By the way, I have friends from Puerto Rico, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, so, Peruvians are among the average speed.
Buena suerte hermanita , viaje bien y vaya con Dios.
Tu viejo hermano raimundo.
There are still some good people left in this world, and sanlee you're one of them. It will be a great experience and I know you'll do fine communicating in Spanish.
Take warm cothes: it is cold in Peru this time of year.
¡Que tengas un buen viaje!
Hola Sandy! How exciting for you, have a wonderful and safe trip!
Very informative video, Sandy. Thanks for posting. And of course we all wish you a safe trip. And "no worries" on your Spanish. You will do fine!
¡Que tengas un gran tiempo!
I wish you the best Sandy I miss you so much and I hope you're doing well and that you have a great experience
