As you may recall, the Peruvian Community in the UNOG held a collection in March – under the auspices of the Staff Coordinating Council – in favour of the victims of the floods that affected half of the country.
The collection raised the amount of 20,061.70 Swiss Francs, which was increased by a contribution of the Council of CHF 10,000 in accordance with our adopted guidelines on collections, to a total of 30,061.70 Swiss Francs. This amount has been transferred to the Peruvian Red Cross through the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in Switzerland.
Thanks to your generosity, a message of solidarity was sent to the Peruvian people in a moment of great need. You may find here the message we have received from the Peruvian Red Cross.
We would like to extend our thanks to all colleagues who participated in the collection.
