shocking is still ... Two months after the devastating earthquake on the coast of Peru, I am the day before yesterday again with our church partners organization CEAS moved into the area about 200 kilometers south of Lima to me again to make a picture of the situation on the ground.
had in newspaper and television, I heard repeatedly in recent weeks, the lament of the absolute lack of coordination of actors, of mismanagement and corruption. And in fact it is missing quite obvious to this day on clear plans and implementation strategies. The different actors are interconnected verstritten or watch the crazy idea of all the credit for himself to want to collect, resulting in the boycott of any joint coordination. The result: the people in the earthquake turned to rubble cities continue to live in a state of emergency.
Cleaning up the rubble is slow, across piles of rubble blocking the streets and therefore the further cleanup. There is too little heavy equipment available to quickly move forward with the demolition and reconstruction. In Pisco tell me the volunteers of parishes, the mayor of Pisco, the contract with the company that was contracted for debris removal had, on an hourly basis placed. The result is like a string of Gotham - instead of progressing as fast as possible proceed with the cleanup, the company is now authorized to perform the cleanup as slow as possible.
On the beach of Pisco have unnerved citizens now opened an informal garbage dump, from the middle of projects just so that established before the earthquake plate with the proud inscription: "This will create an ecological-tourist trail to the town of Pisco. "It looks as though there were a sign like the idea of the debris to the neck ... 
The various government institutions involved in it offer to each other to throw spanners in the works, so that people expect from the government now as good as anything. In any case, hardly anyone knows what proposals the public administration has actually to solve the crisis. The information flows fragmented, bureaucratic procedures and requirements of the people are insufficiently informed to miss and it therefore often important to register in the register in order to guarantee access to government aid.
People rely primarily on the help that it reaches the part of the church and the international development agencies.
A pastor in Pisco helping people all over red tape with small loans in the amount of 300-500 USD. This injection of funds they can get an a small food stand finance side of the road, a lost in the rubble of previous sewing new purchase, a concrete mixer for the reconstruction of houses, tools and other technical purchases make in order to achieve another small income.
The religious institutions such as Caritas and supply CEAS is still a large number of small soup kitchens with food to ensure the supply of the population with food. So that mothers are exempt from the children's supervision, the soup kitchens are now being extended to child care centers. Together with the Universities of simple homes made of mud and straw mats are designed, to replace in the next few months, the number of tents in which the people since 15.8. . Camping
a major problem because the water and sanitation, which has broken down completely in many neighborhoods.
expect in the approaching summer months, experts with a growing number of infectious diseases due to the disastrous situation of waste water. The churches arm themselves with drugs for cholera.
one asks after the successes of the past two months, one hears of a better organization of the population. The soup kitchens operate and perform an important function. The pressure on the authorities to finally give gas is growing. The insight that all will benefit from a good cooperation, also appears.
The aftershock, which the people for weeks in fear and terror offset have to be fewer and much weaker. Christmas is coming and so is a new wave of solidarity with their compatriots in Peru Pisco, Chincha and Ica expected. Already, some of the funds for the earthquake is a traditional hot chocolate, the Merry-and a few children's toys reserved for Christmas. Let's hope that the celebration of love is also a celebration of good cooperation and we understand that addiction profiling has no place in such a plight nothing!
