The Disaster the World Forgot

I am back on my soap box. The following photos are from the community where my kids were born in the Sacred Valley called Yucay. The degree of destruction is pretty serious although very few seem to have noticed. 86 families in this small area alone have lost their homes. This meand approximately 350 people including seniors, adults and kids. Tomorrow we are making another journey down to deliver necessities such as sugar, rice, evaporated milk, clothing, sleeping bags, tools, etc., to those in need.

Heartfelt thanks to all who have generously donated although you probably sent so much to Haiti as well. I know I did. Leave us not to forget Peru. I know I can't. I am touched by the generosity of those who have traveled with us and visited the area as well as those who have yet journeyed and are still looking forward to their visit and..........have extended a helping hand.

Things are busy on all fronts for me and it is interesting to observe my own feelings as I dance between taking care of my guests as well as trying to help the precious people who have been devastated.
