How YOU can help

It's starting to come up, so I thought I'd highlight the best option.

Aid El Salvador, the NGO our boss helped create five years ago, has set up a disaster relief fund to enable direct, quick donations to the affected families living around San Vicente. Please click on the link below and consider donating whatever you can.

<<< Aid El Salvador >>>

As soon as news of the disaster hit the international community, Aid El Salvador's board of directors held an emergency meeting to discuss how to connect interested parties with affected families in Verapaz and Guadalupe. They are working around the clock to ensure that donations reach affected families. Trust that your hard earned cash will reach salvadoran families in need.

In addition, Peace Corps staff has been out to the affected communities to distribute donations collected in San Salvador, assess damage done to host families, and check on friends and family. Many PCVs are frantically calling PC headquarters to request information on their training host families around San Vicente. Both Peace Corps and Aid El Salvador are working around the clock to ensure that families receive the bare essentials they need in the coming months and do not get left behind.

Donations can be received via Pay Pal from a link on the website
www.aidelsalvador.org. In the message section, please note "disaster relief".
