Giving Children Hope Prepares for Shipment of Aid and Supplies to Peru

Following the earthquake that struck Peru in August 2007, Giving Children Hope partnered with Peruvian Pastor Marius Peyre to ship containers of relief aid to Pisco, Peru.

Pastor Marius welcomed the containers of aid into Peru in October 2007 and held a distribution day during which 800 children and families were served. In addition to bags of food and supplies, Peruvians in attendance received a hot meal.

On Friday, December 21, 2007, Giving Children Hope shipped a 20-foot container of aid and supplies to an orphanage in Cusco, Peru.

Giving Children Hope received such an amazing amount of community support when we kicked off our Peru Quake Relief Effort in August, said Ashley Stinson, Communications and Development Coordinator with Giving Children Hope. We have great partners on the ground in Peru, which enables us to send more and more shipments to support children and families in the region. This shipment is very special, as it is helping to equip an orphanage in Cusco.

Giving Children Hope is preparing to partner once again with Pastor Marius Peyre to send another container of relief aid and supplies to Peru in the coming weeks.
