More than 4,000 homeless people, including many children of Barrio El Porvenir, Grotius Prado district, in Chincha, received water and food supplies to 72 hours of the earthquake that ravaged the south of Peru.
For this purpose, the president of the Peruanitos Foundation, Jimmy Perez Johnson feel free to take a flight to Peru, from Los Angeles and be present in the disaster zone.
The images presented international television were very dramatic, but I was impressed the request of many people, who with tears in his eyes clamored for immediate help, refiri.
Therefore, sending a bank draft that allowed volunteers in Peru buy food and sufficient water to serve more than 4,000 people and were transported in a truck to a humble chinchano village.
It is so on Saturday 18, after four hours away by the rough and very congested road Panamericana Sur, a delegation of the Fundacon Peruanitos constat personally the drama of the situation.
The bleak picture of hundreds of mud houses destroyed, together with the poverty of the place, contrasted with the hopeful faces of the inhabitants, who were quickly covered with dust ordered to receive aid.
The villagers showed their appreciation, while noting that donations did not reach the remote villages. Everything stays in the Plaza de Armas of Pisco. Since the earthquake we have no water, electricity or telephone service functional community, senale a distraught mother.
The scenes that can be seen are the same in Ica, Chincha, Pisco and Huancavelica: Children and old people wandering aimlessly, mothers with their babies in their arms feeling the effects of hunger, men screaming for help to the roadside and in desperation coming to pillage and looting of trucks carrying food. All they are broken by grief at the pordida of their loved ones or their modest personal property.
Peruanitos Foundation has found that it is very cumbersome make trimites to transport United States to Peru, clothing, food or medicine. Therefore it agrees with the statement of the Embassy of Washington, regarding monetary help is the fastest and most effective way to help the victims via.
That way, the money allows buy in Lima tents, food and water, which is the most urgent. Peruanitos Foundation guarantees delivery of the donation to each villager, not a collection center.
