Still living in tents

Still living in tents: A post-flood Cusco update from the town of Lucre

LivinginPeru.com


Andrew Dare, a photographer living in Cusco, sent an update following his original reporting from the flooded rural areas in Cusco's Sacred Valley.


Residents in the town of Lucre are living in tents. Their possessions are gone, and they are living off of donated goods. The people seemed optimistic, but there's serious concern about what they will live off in the not-so-distant future.

Thanks, Tracie and Ricky, for keeping us informed about the sad situation there. We are still praying that the people in and around Cusco receive all the help they need to get their lives back to normal. It must be very difficult for them. Keep us posted; we don't get all the news we would like to get about it.

Hey Ricky and Tracie,

My name is Stephanie and currently I am scheduled to be on a missions trip with you guys in July 2010 :D
I am so excited, and so thankful that you have this Blog. Hopefully it will help me better understand Peru as well as the work you two do.

Thanks, and God Bless
