Dear Friends,
as you are aware on Sunday, June 3rd Volcán de Fuego erupted in my home country of Guatemala. It was and still is a devastating situation. Fuego erupted spewing ash, rocks and gas into the air destroying villages and affecting many poor communities. These are some of the numbers to give you an idea of what is happening.
Fatalities: 112
Injuries: 55
Missing persons 197
Individuals affected: 1,714,387
Evacuees: 12,823
Individuals in temporary shelters 8,534
We are a group of Guatemalan women living in London who felt compelled to do something for our country. We are hosting a fundraising event on September 15th at the Institute of Imagination in London.
