As of today, the number of victims of the earthquake in Peru is over

500 killed and 80,000 people have lost their homes. People are

sleeping in parks and in the streets. Many areas don't have any

electricity or water. The weather is cold at this time in Peru.

Two containers are leaving San Francisco to Peru in a week or so.

 

What do we need?

================

-Water. They need lots of water since many houses have been

destroyed.

-Non perishable food.

-Sleeping bags.

-Blankets.

-Adult and children's clothes. They have to be new. Used clothes

must be fumigated by law and there is not time to do it.

-Candles. Many areas don't have electricity yet.

-Foldable beds or Yoga mats .

-Money

Where to take donations?

========================

 

South Bay Area:

---------------

I will be in downtown Mountain View from 4pm to 7pm Wednesday

August 22nd. I will be in front of the bookstore Bookbuyers which

is located on 317 Castro Street.

 

San Ramon Area:

---------------

I'm bringing two trucks to San Ramon to this coming Saturday

Satsang on August 25th

I will set up a table in front of the temple.

 

Other areas:

------------

If you can't go to either place you can contact me to arrange

something different. I have many friends in different parts of

California.

 

If you are bringing your donation in boxes leave them open so they

can be sorted easily.

I might also need some empty boxes.

 

 

What else can you do?

======================

I might need strong muscles to load my truck with donations and take

them to San Francisco. I also might need an extra car. The date is

not yet confirmed but if you can help in this way, please let me

know.

 

Can you go to Peru and help?

============================

I am considering going to Peru to help the children. There are many

orphans after the earthquake and also many children that need some

attention while their parents are helping the rescuers. They are

traumatized and need some healing. One devotee confirmed that he

will go. I am contacting a group of volunteers in Peru and they are

keeping me informed of what is needed. I will know if I am going in

the next few days.

 

Questions?

You can contact me at anytime.
