Peru members rebuilding from earthquake
Oscar Nilton Velasquez Monterola and his family have lived in a wooden shelter since an earthquake hit Peru's central coast more than a year ago.
"(Our shelter) lacks all the basic services," Velasquez Monterola of Chincha, south of Lima, said of where he, his wife and baby live. "Presently the economy is very difficult (where) we lack the bare necessities and the means to buy building materials to fix our property."
The pace of rebuilding the earthquake-affected cities along the central coast of Peru since the earthquake has been grindingly slow because of a variety of issues including a scarcity of skilled laborers.
Velasquez Monterola is planning to help in the construction of his own home, using skills from vocational training sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through the Perpetual Education Fund.
