In Peru

Peru 2008: Maria Fitzgerald and Neale Bayly formed Wellspring International Outreach after visiting Hogar Belen a Community of the Congregation Our Lady of the Missions (Nuestra Señora de las Misiones) in Moquegua, Peru, to perform a medical mission. They treated fifty children for minor ailments while they were there.

2009: Neale led a motorcycle adventure ride around Peru, ending at Hogar Belen a Community of the Congregation Our Lady of the Missions (Nuestra Señora de las Misiones) to take donations and supplies. At this time, Maria and Neale had raised around $65,000 for a project to build a bridge from the farm to the mainland across a dangerous river.
