A fire swept through an entire block of downtown Lima on the night of May 9th. It is estimated that 46 families have been left without homes. I went out with my co-workers and the municipal response team yesterday morning to distribute snacks and juice to those affected by the blaze. Although the cause is still under investigation, many believe it was caused by illegally extended electric wires. Luckily no one was fatally injured, although I saw many with obvious burn marks.
