(LIP-ir) -- "It's been cold in Lima these days, hasn't it? When you're out in the street you can really feel it, but when you get home you feel much warmer, especially if have a hot cup of coffee or tea, a warm soup or even a comfortable blanket to snuggle under."
"Our brothers and sisters in the south do not have any of these basic needs. There are many places where aid is not enough or is not arriving the way it should. One of those places is Chincha, specifically El Carmen, El Guayabo and San Requis."
These were the sincere and wholehearted statements of the spokesperson representing 18 musical groups and bands.
In a press release issued today, the bands announced that "The Solidarity Concert" has been organized to raise funds for all of the people that were victims of the earthquake and have not received help yet.
The 18 artists and groups have organized this kind act in a loving and generous way, only expecting that audiences help in their mission to aid those that have not been assisted yet, they will not be paid or remunerated in any way. The only compensation sought is a person willing to help those that have been left devastated by the earthquake.
It was announced that the concert is to be held at Parque Reducto de Miraflores (on the corner of Benavides Ave. and the Via Expresa) on Sunday September 2 from 3 p.m. - 10 p.m. There will be no admission fees. Nonetheless, it is hoped that everyone that attends will bring donations for those that are in desperate need of basic provisions in the South.
"There are a lot of people living on the street, children and elderly people are among them. All those that can bring food, clothes, blankets, diapers, plastic bags, sleeping bags and tents (tents are very necessary at this time), will be welcome."

(LIP-ir) -- Yesterday, Peru's Minister of Production, Rafael Rey, announced the debut of the limited edition bottle of Pisco, that is to be given as a token of the Peruvian Government's appreciation to all those that contributed in relief efforts during Peru's time of crisis.
It was announced that less than 1,000 bottles of this exclusive line of brandy would be produced in honor of all the aid foreign countries provided in an effort to help all of the victims of the disastrous magnitude-8 earthquake that shook Peru for over 2 minutes on August 15.
This limited edition Pisco was to be called Pisco 7.9, named after what is thought to be the Richter Scale degree of the earthquake. A special label was made thanking all foreigners for the solidarity they have shown Peru.
Peru's government has had to retract the name placed on this limited edition Pisco after experts stated that Pisco 7.9 was not an appropriate name for the brandy.
"I would like to announce that even though production will continue, the name will be changed, provided that there are different points of views. I have done it with the best intentions and I have to say that it hurts that there are interpretations which are far from the truth," stated Peru's Minister of Production.
Minister Rey also clarified that the project had been organized and begun by Pisco producers in the affected areas. He stated that it had been their way of honoring the earthquake victims.
The new name has not been revealed yet.

Peru: U.S. Department of State Announcement
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesman
Office of the Spokesman
This Public Announcement alerts Americans traveling to or living in Peru to strikes and civil demonstrations throughout the country, causing blocked highways, airport closures, and sporadic street protests. This Public Announcement expires October 11, 2007.
Large protests in cities and tourist centers have disrupted travel and market activity. The Peruvian government has closed some streets in Lima due to the demonstrations. A strike planned for the week of July 16 could affect Lima’s international airport. Protests have significantly affected tourist activities in the popular tourist destination of Machu Picchu. The districts of Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cusco, Huancavelica, Huanuco, Ica, Junin, Lambayeque, Lima, Loreto, Piura, Puno, San Martin, and Ucayali have all been affected by the demonstrations.
The demonstrations have not directly threatened Americans or American interests in Peru. However, the Embassy reminds American travelers that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and violent unexpectedly. During violent demonstrations or law enforcement operations, U.S. citizens are reminded to remain in their homes or hotels, avoid large crowds, and avoid areas where protests are being staged. Since the timing and routes of scheduled marches and demonstrations are always subject to change, U.S. citizens should monitor local media sources for new developments and exercise extreme caution while within the vicinity of any protests.
For more detailed information on staying safe in Peru, please see the Peru Consular Information Sheet. For the latest security information, U.S. citizens traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department’s Internet website where the current Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, Travel Warnings, and Public Announcements can be found. Up-to-date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the U.S. or outside the U.S. and Canada on a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays). American citizens traveling or residing overseas are encouraged to register with the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate on the State Department’s travel registration website. The Consular Section is open for American Citizen Services, including registration, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon weekdays, excluding U.S. and Peruvian holidays.

You will be missed dear friend
It is with much grief and sorrow that we inform you that our former Executive Editor Wolfgang Becker, known to many of us as just Wolfy, passed away in his home yesterday evening of an apparent heart attack.
Wolfy's tireless efforts, ideas, and drive are responsible for much of the improvements made during his tenure (May 2006 - February 2007) at LivinginPeru.com. He did a spectacular job and we will forever be indebted to him.
Our thoughts and prayers go to his wife, Marcela, family, and friends during this trying time.
If you are in Peru and would like to pay your respects to a man who passionately worked to promote his adoptive country of Peru, his viewing will be held today and tomorrow (Apr. 21-21) at the Velatorio San Antonio de Padua, located at Av. San Felipe 571 in Jesus Maria.
May you rest in peace dear friend.

(LIP-jl) -- Since LivinginPeru.com was officially launched on the information superhighway 20 months ago, our vision was (and still is) to be the most extensive and reliable source of English language information about Peru for foreigners living here, those that are thinking about it, and those with a link to this wonderful country.
While there is still much work to be done, our constant strive to provide updated news, events, travel and feature articles, an extensive business directory, and general information about this amazing country has garnered the attention of New York's most distinguished newspaper - the New York Times.
Our website was recently mentioned in a New York Time's Business section article regarding the state of today's business traveler and the importance the Internet has on their professional lives (to read the New York Times article click here -link).
We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to all of our readers for the loyalty and support bestowed upon us since our launch on July 28, 2005. We promise to continue to work tirelessly in maintaining our position as the most complete source of English language information about Peru.
Sincerely,
