one thing to read the news, know the statistics home destroyed hectares of crops affected and others view the devastated and displaced communities anthers.
In the few villages I have visited I have seen dozens of houses destroyed and entire villages in tents, you really feel helpless against such a need.
There were places where the river entrance in front and behind the houses as they are collapsed adobe, people desperate to save his risking their lives. There are places where the valley is full of water, the walls are decayed and uninhabitable.
They have lost everything
People have been forced from their homes and go to sleep in tents, adults, seniors and children live without basic services. In the mountains at night frosts occur at very low temperatures. I've been queuing for food, queue for clothes.
Huacarpay fell in 95% of homes in Zurite place where there is a mountain river collapsed. We currently are out of chaos and facing the reality that within hours they lost everything.
Official figures indicate that government reports to date on all of southern Peru there are over 7 000 houses collapsed and 40 thousand hectares of crops have been destroyed leaving homelessness more than 13 thousand families
The Bread of Life
Peruvian Bible Society is doing the coordination for a year to provide breakfasts, lunches and biblical materials to 200 children in the affected areas of Lucre, and Taway Huacarpay. The aid will be channeled through the churches and the Christian Association ATEK. By losing their crops have lost their livelihood and will take a long time in rehab, hence the urgent need for this program. Request
support This aid is insufficient compared to the pain and suffering of people. We ask the entire Christian community together to help our brothers in Cusco.
All together we can help!
