Terrible earthquake in Peru... how to help

As many of you already heard, last wednesday (August 15th)Peru suffered a terrible earthquake from 7.7 degrees .
People from the South (Chincha, Pisco and Ica took the worst part. To the date there are more than 500 human victims, lots of hurted people and many material damages (more than 60% of the houses in Ica felt down and more than 80% in Pisco).
As you understand the governmet and private institutions are making their best efforts to help people in the disaster area, but I think it could get better "with a little help of our friends".
I just wanted to say that we should be organized and informed about the places or organisations where we could send our help.
Here is a web page from a local newspaper where you can find out how to help or donate and where:

I'm sure that in Coushsurfing we all share more than couches. It's about friendship, support and to be with your CS fellows in the good ones and in the bad ones too. I think our travelers community understands how people is feeling right now and that many of them are willing to help, just they don't know how.
For that I'm sending you this list published in "El Comercio" local newspaper.

Hope you all are ok and that all this ends in a short time.

Thanks to all people from the groups Peru, South America and other ones for their support and thoughts.
