Support for Flood Victims in the Sacred Valley of Peru

(...the following is an excerpt from Fielding Wood’s letter. To read click here…) “Everyone is asking what they can do. We have given this a lot of thought. Several people have already started to gather funds to send to our family and initiate fundraising events. We have realized that is is in fact the best way to help our family right now. There is no insurance here – and no government support that we know of – and that will be minimal if and when. Also with Machu Picchu being closed and the bridge to Pisac collapsed – you can imagine there is no tourism and nothing is coming in. Support of our family through fundraising will enable us to take the steps to slowly start rebuilding our life as soon as possible – this is what we need to do to provide a sense of place and safety to our family – it will be a long process, but the sooner we can begin the easier this transition will be for all of us. If anyone would like to support our family – please pass the word on that gathering funds is the most effective way for the moment. As soon as we have an idea of how to proceed in other ways, we will let you all know.

We will also support many families in Taray who are close to us. We are not able to take on the larger task of proving support for the whole town. The Cultural Center where the 7th, 8th and 9th grades are being held was also damaged and needs to be rebuilt. If you want to support please use the accounts attached below.

Funds can be sent either to our account in Taos or our account in Cusco. We are attaching both.

Please tell everyone who asks how to help about this fundraising initiative to help us reconstruct our life and cultural projects -

Thank you so much to everyone.
We are so full and love and thanks,
Fielding, Roman, Suni, T’ika and Katari”
