The Damage Unfolds

The Damage Unfolds August 16, 2007

**Update: Thanks Jimmy for letting me know the Caritas del Peru site is pretty complicated. If you click on CRS’s site, they are giving direct aid to those in need, via Caritas. You can go here to donate. The death toll continues to climb as bodies are found in the rubble. The news is reporting people died when a Church collapsed on those attending Mass to honor Marys’ Assumption into Heaven.

Along Michael’s post, thus far 337 are dead in the Peru earthquake. Caritas del Peru is present helping those in need. If you would like to make a donation to help, click the above link. Caritas the social arm of the Bishops Conference in countries around the world. In the US it is called Catholic Relief Services, but abroad it is called Caritas.

We were on the phone last night calling our many friends there to see if they were ok. Thankfully, they are. God bless them, but sadly others will discover bad news. Prayers for all those affected.
