Thanks Estaban for your question. NExt Saturday in falmouth MA we're having a house party to show the movie and raise money to donate. For the lincoln center and ballet folklorico peru events, I'm going to consult with the venues, the group and also the Peru Consulate to see if we can do something. I would like to help more. One thing, we really don't make "capital gains" from our work. This is work we do for love, and trying to get out of debt!:) . But yes, now we are at a stage to generate revenue, and would like to share.

Hi Mitch

I am writing you from Pisco. I am here as part of Oxfam humanitarian team that is working on shelter, water and public health promotions. I am glad to take part on this project. I want to thank you for organize the solidarity from people in ISA related to Soyandina.

I work with a company called Volunteer Visions (www.volunteervisions.org) and we recently partnered with a nonprofit in Peru to help with construction and childcare for affected families in Peru. If you interested in assisting directly, please email me at socialnet@volunteervisions.org and I will happily share more information on how you can make a direct difference.
