There has been a massive earthquake in Peru. Hundreds are confirmed dead and the death toll is expected to soar as rescue crews eventually reach areas that have been cut off by the devastation.
Peru is a country that only recently has emerged from a bloody legacy of a Maoist-inspired reign of terror and the dictatorial-like rule of President Fujimori. The people of Peru have been rebuilding their country and their society and are hard-working and wonderfully warm and welcoming. This summer I lead a group of my students through Peru and neighboring Bolivia. We felt well cared for and welcomed at every turn.
Please, show a little love for this wonderful nation. Send good thoughts or prayers that way and if you want to give to the International Red Cross, that would be so appreciated.
