Answer 1

I have already donated

Answer 2

well every year, my mom gathers close to a thousand dollars from fundraisers and donations from the peruvian community in Columbus, Ohio. Then she takes that money to the highlands of PEru, you know where the indigenous people live in hard conditions with little money, places like Paucartambo. But she stops in Cuzco, because my grandma lives there, and buys school books, pencils, toys, notebooks for the children there. She then used the rest to help build a schoolhouse in a town where the church is a 1 room mud hut.

So uh, i think ive done my part, try to do the same.

Answer 3

Thanks to all but the situation is not as desperate as last week in the sense that help has come and it is quite organized now. Children (and families in general) have received help and this help will last them for a couple of weeks. Most countries have donated tons of food and other stuff and what they need now is money to help them rebuild their houses. Medicine is scarce so by donating to the Red Cross you will be able to help more children.

Thank you so much, any help is really appreciate it and during this past week we have all seen people from around the world helping Peru. God bless you all and just remember that whatever you give, God will return it seven times as much!!
