As some of you know, I am from Peru. For the past days Peru has been suffering extreme weather conditions, in which most of the coast has been flooded due to unusual heavy rains from El Niño. The floods have been the worst in almost 30 years and thousands of communities, schools, roads, bridges and crops have been destroyed. More than half a million people are affected due to floods and mudslides, isolated without water and food. Almost half of the country has been declared in emergency, especially in the north where the rainy season has delivered 10 times as much rainfall than usual. I am asking for prayers, and if possible and willing to, consider donations. There are plenty ways to help, some from the below links and The Peruvian Red Cross has also activated online donations: #HelpPeru online donations have been enabled worldwide. Go to Peruvian Red Cross #PeruvianRedCross #CruzRojaPeruana #Peru #UnaSolaFuerza You can read more about what's going on here: http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN16O2V5http://www.newworlder.com/article/11187/peru-flood-reliefhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...0f7e2a_story.html?utm_term=.efe274feea28Please keep Peru and its people in your prayers, and if able to help please do so. ![[Linked Image]](http://cde.3.elcomercio.pe/ima/0/1/6/3/3/1633269/base_image.jpg) [video:youtube]i8Vwld9SFyU[/video] [video:youtube]uUNaqqI41RU[/video]

Pablo,
I was unaware. I'm truly hoping that all will survive the devastation.
How are your family members doing?
Prays offered for all.
Donations are on the way.

Jeff Guys, Jeff, thank you so much - my family and friends are doing ok, some water shortages, but in general doing fine, and we are blessed and lucky to be in a position to help out, instead of needing the help. There are already 75 dead people, and tounsands of people have lost everything and are still struggling with lack of water/food and access. Army/Navy Air Force are evacuating injured first and trying to deliver supplies. The problem is the prospect of heavy rains and downpours for the next 2 weeks. Whgat is inspiring is a lot of people coming together and lend a hand/shoulder and be one. Again, thanks for the prayers and help

Pablo,
I apologize that I was totally unaware of this. Prayers sent for all Peruvians. I'm glad to hear your family is safe.
