Please Help Some Children in Peru

I am posting this on behalf of my friends who live in Peru, who had sent out this email to anyone who might be able to make a donation. Please read the post below

Thank you , Darren.

 Dear Friends
A catastrophe has struck a small pueblo not far from me. Several weeks of heavy rain resulted in a glacial river bursting its banks, sending rushing water churning down the mountain, pushing rocks, boulders, and trees along the way. The village of Tanccac lay in its path and, as a r...esult, paid the biggest price: agricultural fields buried in mud, wiping out a year’s plantings; carpenter shops flattened, not a nail in sight; farm animals drowned; and 48 adobe houses collapsed. In all, over 100 families have lost some or all of their housing, clothing, work, furniture – all the things that they need to survive. Many were injured. None died. (Photos attached.)
I am writing on behalf of forty-six children, who will be starting school in two weeks. While the government has provided tents and the small municipality has provided foodstuffs, supplemented by donations, the children are in need of backpacks, notebooks and pencils. It will take close to $15 to outfit one child with these supplies.
Please consider making a donation either via your Paypal account (instructions below) or a personal check to me at: Rosemary Poland, 209 Darrel Road, LaGrange, NC 28551, which she will deposit into my bank
Imagine forty-six smiling faces and pat yourself on the back.

Thanks so much.
Linda
