Expats Peru - People that love Peru!


Trying to find the right words is very difficult. It all comes down to THANK YOU VERY MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS!

We were gladly surprised by the quick response from all of you that felt the need to help our Peruvian brothers; please be sure that every penny you donated was and is being used well and 100% towards relief supplies (no overhead at all!). We have just finished this weekend, Sept. 9, buying food/supplies with your gift donations (our Third Shipment) . All our gift donors will receive an email with update, a link to our relief inventory and by regular mail a receipt for the purchase made on their behalf.

The members of PERUVIANA (http://www.peruviana.com/) that travelled to Peru spent days taking care of everything we collected , giving it to different organizations helping the people that were affected by the August 15th Earthquake.

We distributed your gifts among the Anglican Church of Lima (The Church of the Good Shepherd), already well organized and working onsite, and running 8 soup kitchens! Other recipients were INDECI (Instituto Nacional de Defensa Civil, Government Office) and some private concerned citizens who actually visited the affected areas, some civil volunteers and physicians. We were advised not to travel to ground zero in Ica, as space in cars, trucks, was needed for long-term volunteers familiar with the area. Our role was to help, not to get in the way, so we complied.

Our part is not over yet, we can still help the people from Peru. Please take a minute or two and visit http://www.peruviana.com/eainpereef.html for links to reputable organizations. INDECI is relocating from the Estadio Nacional (Stadium), as soon as we get information, we will post an update.
Once again, thank you very much for your support and your prayers. May you get back many times what your heart already gave to the people in Peru.
