A whole bunch of folk here in San Pedro are putting together a fundraising function at Fidos on Saturday. All booze is being donated, so all proceeds go to relief. Everyone is working for free. Participants in the function will also be donating cash, anonymously in envelopes. We hope to raise at least US4000.00 which will be turned into staple foods such as rice, beans, flour, corn etc. A couple of trucks from the British Army base at Ladyville will begin the process of transporting the goods to the South, probably on Monday. An emergency food kitchen will be in the area to take charge of the food.

The people of San Pedro have already donated bags and bags of clothing, food, loads of money, anything, really, that people can give to try to help. More is needed and more is being collected.

Extensive video being shown on TV here in San Pedro of the destruction suffered by our brothers and sisters in the South....very bad. Staggering that it all happened in one hour.
