REQUEST FOR DONATIONS ON BEHALF OF THOSE AFFECTED THROUGHOUT THE MOLLEPATA - ALTO SALKANTAY- SANTA TERESA (CUSCO) ROUTE.

TO OUR FRIENDS, CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS:

Cusco, January, 28 2010.

REQUEST FOR DONATIONS ON BEHALF OF THOSE AFFECTED THROUGHOUT THE MOLLEPATA - ALTO SALKANTAY- SANTA TERESA (CUSCO) ROUTE.

As you may already know, between January, 19 and 25 the Cusco area was stricken by heavy rain, unusual in intensity and length, which led to serious damage of the road and railroad infrastructure and homes and land of the rural population of the south Andes of Peru. After this natural disaster, the Central Government declared the affected areas in state of emergency by means of the Urgency Decree 005-2010, taking further action by the Supreme Decree 015-2010 PCM, both promulgated on January, 25.

Even though this natural disaster (increase of the river flow, flooding and landslides) will not affect the opening of the regular tourist season next March, for the affected infrastructure is currently being repaired from and to Machu Picchu, it is clear that the recovery of houses and agricultural land of the population will be a much longer process and the immediate need for food, water, clothing, health-care and other elements is a critic issue, especially on the first days after the disaster.

YANAPANA PERU www.yanapana.org, is a non-profitable association promoted by Mountain Lodges of Peru SAC. www.mountainglodgesofperu.com. This institution has been working for more than four years in the development of programs that involve social responsibility and/or self-sustainable activities throughout the Salkantay route (from Mollepata in the province of Anta, to Santa Teresa in the province of La Convencion) and is duly authorized by means of the R.M 708-2007-EF to receive donations and deduct the amount of money or valued goods received of its Income Tax.
