Dear Devotees
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
For a special program of preaching Krsna Consciousness in some areas in Southamerica a group of devotees is organizing a very important Bus-tour visiting many villages and cities in Peru and Ecuador distributing the nectar of the Holy Name and preparing many festivals in order to attract more people to become devotees of the Lord in this much needed area of the world.
For this transcendental preaching tour the organizers of this program require your help and support, please try to get involved in this preaching activity in order to fulfill Srila Prabhupada's mission in preaching Krsna Consciousness in every town and every village. The organizers have made a special website for this where you can see their previous activities and the future plans as well as to get the information required for your donation and support.

Information about the 2005 festival tour:
Get Involved
The 2005 festival tour will span 4 weeks, one month, across Ecuador and Peru. 80 youth will help put on nine Ratha-yatra festivals, Festival of India, visit four temples, perform dramas at every festival and temple, distribute Krishna prasadam and books, go on harinamas, adventure activities, camping, whitewater rafting, and have Krishna conscious adventures of a lifetime.
Watch a 15-minute video of last year's summer tour on the web, to give you a glimpse into life on the tour.
Budgeted expenses are a little over $50,000 for this upcoming summer tour. Your generous contributions will help us make this tour more affordable for the youth.
Think about it. These youth pay up to $150 each, because they are so poor they cannot pay more money, they just give us all what they have to come and do devotional service all summer long. Amazing! Help us make the tour more affordable for more youth by subsidizing the costs.
Sponsor a youth - We have some very qualified youth who are an inspiration for others but do not have the funds to come on the tour. Help them afford the tour, have the time of their lives, and inspire other youth along the way. Give the gift of Krishna conscious inspirational experiences to a deserving youth.
Please get involved today. Become a supporter of the Youth Festival of India Tour. As a supporter, we'll keep you informed of the highlights of the summer tour as they happen, and e-mail you links to videos filmed, edited, and uploaded almost daily on the tour. (A new feature this year.)
The value of your contributions:
$ 75= Half of the ticket of one exceptional youth sponsored for the whole tour
$108 = cost to rent a bus per day
$150 = one exceptional youth sponsored for the whole tour
$216 = one day's prasadam on the tour for 80 devotees
$450 = 1000 SP books sponsored for distribution
$1500 = 10 exceptional youth sponsored for the whole tour
$3500 = whitewater rafting trip sponsored or a day in the jungle of Ecuador-brazil
$4000= paraphernalia for the boutique to sell during the bus tour.
$24,000 = half of the trip sponsored (reducing the tour costs by half for the tour participants.)
Please give generously what you can according to your capacity. Every dollar helps. We employ one of ISKCON's toughest accountants who makes sure every penny is spent for its intended purpose.
