Thanks Frank for the help
I have noted that the notice is not very well covered, however i'd like to thanks those who mailed me asking. We suffered also the earthquake, believe it was horrible, i wish you never experience something like it. Our city was not heavily affected as the ones more at the south, only very old houses and structures suffered damage, however in those cities almost everything was lost. If you have some peruvian embassy near or something please i'd like to call for some available help. This people really needs help, shelters, water and clothes are the most important things.
I am particulary affected as one city (Pisco) i knew is only dust now. Many friends lived there and now i only wish they are ok with their families somewhere.
Usually we don't take too much concience on this things until it happens to you, and trust me it really shocks you. We all are very nervous yet, many earthquakes are coming after the most powerfulls (about 600), and you still can see the people very affected and worried. Please if there is anything you can do to help please do it.
Thanks
