earthquake in Peru how to help


As you may know we suffered two earthquakes of 7.9 degrees last night that came one after the other. They lasted 2 minutes in total. There are (so far) 370 deaths and more than 800 injured. And the earth is still shaking (340 little quakes so far).

The YMCA of Peru's manager (who is a very good friend of mine) told me that she has opened a bank account to get donations and help the cities most affected by the two earthquakes that are Pisco, Ica and Chincha. The YMCA of Germany is sending 6 doctors to help.

I hope you can help the people from Peru. Any amount would be very useful, since it is winter here and people are living on the streets, because their houses have collapsed.
