***please forgive the inevitable cross-postings****
A lot of you got Ana Maria's email about ways to help Peru right now-
it will be a long slog to fix what has happened. Rebuilding the
economy is going to be a big part of this. Here's maybe a way to help
Peru's small-scale entrepreneurs...
When I made my daily visit to
www.hungerfighters.com (US sponsors
donate food for everyone who clicks) and its global sister site,
www.hungersite.com ... I saw a link for helping Peru. You can go to
Hungersite, click through & you have a way to donate (via
GreaterGood.org) with receipt. But....
You can also buy products from Peruvian microenterprises at that site.
No deduction, but you can do a little gift shopping from Peruvian
entrepreneurs. I made a quick donation immediately, but I've begun
browsing the Hungersite's online store for Peru-made items.
I suspect that there are other places you can do this - pick wisely
(these folks are partnered with Mercy Corps; Ana Maria's links are to
the Red Cross and Oxfam.)
Original links from Ana Maria:
Here are two websites that offer information and a chance to contribute:
http://www.oxfam.org/en/news/2007/pr070816_peru_earthquake_response
http://www.redcross.ca/article.asp?id=023729&tid=001
[ p.s. like
www.kiva.org , you should bookmark
www.hungerfighters.com
too! Hungerfighters' site was helped significantly by entrepreneurship
faculty (Harriet tephenson) and students. ]
And, as always...
Keep entrepreneuring!
