My first road rash

In Peru, the earth shook over a month ago.

Just over a month has passed since a devastating 8.0 magnitude earthquake hit the central coast of Peru, killing up to 500 and leaving up to 60,000 thousand without basic shelter. Having made Peru home for the last 3 months, this crisis has stayed top of mind for me as the news media has long since moved on.
There's an incredible organization, Architecture for Humanity, that remains on the scene long after initial relief efforts are winding up in crisis areas to implement long term sustainable design and reconstruction efforts. Check out how AFH has coordinated projects from New Orleans to Pakistan... and then support their "Peru Earthquake Reconstruction Appeal" if you can.
While actual design and construction may not begin for a 3-6 months, Architecture for Humanity welcomes you to donate today to help provide funds for the upcoming long term rebuilding.
Gracias... and Viva!

Here's brief update about the Peru Earthquake Reconstruction Appeal from the AFH September newsletter.
Looks like they've raised about $1000 since the quake and are looking to raise $10,000.
