You are right, in that there is too much politics in the way of doing the right things. The people of Peru are amazing & maybe they are used the the lack of help, as they organise themselves really fast & really rather well. There was quite a few other trucks heading into the flooded villages with aid gathered by themselves, friends, & local companies & groups. The next day there were even more people, & companies doing their own thing with aid. Its sad that there is not someone to co ordinate the efforts as it could be more efficient & I worry that some areas more accessible are getting lots of Aid & some getting none. I am looking into getting the help of Shelterboxes, & seeing if i can make some links with the scouts in Peru & the UK, as that scouts are doing a better job that some of the Agencies!
