Assistance to Peru

Families in Peru are suffering the worst flood season in years.  As reported in the LA Times:  …the Peruvian government raised the death toll from floods to 94 while relief agencies peru fundraiserestimated that 700,000 persons have been left homeless in 12 of the country’s 25 regions. The cost to Peru’s economy in lost productivity has been estimated at $3.1 billion, or 1.6% of the country’s annual output of goods and services.

Let’s help our neighbors get some relief by providing the following necessities:

  • Flashlights with batteries
  • Baby wipes
  • Hand sanitizers
  • Toothbrushes and toothpaste
  • Mosquito Repellent
  • T-shirts (children & adult sizes)

 

Collection boxes are located on each floor of the main school building and outside XDC in the lower west hallway.

Your items will be delivered to be sent to Peru on Thursday afternoon, 4pm, April 6, 2017.  Questions:  Contact Señora Blanca at bdenadel@st-johnschool.org.

¡Muchas Gracias!
