Vine Trust

The charity cruise held on 30th July 2008 onboard the PS Waverley, and supported by Barony St John's along with other local churches was a huge success. Over 670 people were on board and raised the magnificent sum of £4540. Ordinary people, once again, in the Three Towns and beyond have helped to make a difference in Peru. Photos and a video of the evening can be viewed at www.charitycruise.info.

4 new episodes of the Amazon Heartbeat series were broadcast in May 2008. These focused more on the plight of the streetchildren and the aftermath of the earthquake in Ica.

Scots have transformed our lives with visionary thinking. And for every big idea, there was the humblest beginning. In July 2006, Stuart McMahon and David Young from Barony St John's Church, along with 25 other volunteers, went as volunteers with the Vine Trust to Peru and witnessed many sights including the arrival of Amazon Hope 2.

STV commissioned Glasgow Films to produce a captivating new documentary series, Amazon Heartbeat, which follows a group of adventurers, pioneers and medical volunteers working on two medical boats in one of the remotest and hostile parts of the planet, Amazonia.
