centered near Montecristi, rocked the region on April 16, 2016.Serious
aftershocks followed.21 quakes in a single week, 46 in a 30 – day period.People
dared not sleep indoors.Businesses closed, so even those with jobs no longer
had paychecks.We are focusing our efforts in the tiny village of Pile, where
the finest hats are woven.We have already begun to buy and distribute food to
those who are most affected.Aid is not limited to weavers.People are
people.Hunger is hunger.And people need to eat every day.So we need to keep
distributing food.Please help.
