Dear Family and Friends,

We are currently assisting All Hands in the town of Huarmey in northern Peru after severe flooding and landslides ruined hundreds of homes, schools and shops. Everyday we are helping the local community by removing mud, demolishing unsafe buildings and demoulding schools to allow the people of Huarmey get their lives back to normal. 

Any donation you make will go directly to this project and assist the work we are undertaking here, so please donate whatever you can to help!

All Hands Response to the floods in Peru:
Widespread flooding and severe rains in Peru began intensifying March of 2017, causing landslides, floods and mud flows. 92 people have been killed with 639,000 people affected or displaced from their homes. The All Hands Volunteers DART team began assessing conditions in the Eastern region and the town of Huarmey on March 22, 2017, where Mayor and other government officials have requested our immediate assistance. Given this urgent need, we have officially launched a response program to focus on cleaning out affected schools, constructing temporary learning centers, mobilizing local volunteers, and mucking out homes.
