Fort Frances Teen Heads to Peru

A Fort Frances teen is close to reaching her fundraising goal for a humanitarian trip to Peru.

Tylyn Silander is travelling a small rural community in the South American country August 1 through a program offered by World Vision.

"What I'm doing there is we're doing a photography workshop, "says Silander. "It's a form of art therapy through technology that they don't have."

Along with raising five thousand dollars for the trip, Silander also found sponsors for five needy children.
