Peru: From Prison, With All Our Heart

Categories: Latin America, Peru, Citizen Media, Health, Ideas

Every year, the Foundation Against Cancer of Peru [1] [es] carries out a fundraising campaign called “Ponle corazón” [Put your heart in it] for children with cancer. Affected because in the last three years the collection has been unable to reach its planned goal, the inmates of Miguel Castro Castro [2] penitentiary facility carried out a five-day long collection [3] [es] inside the prison in an amazing and successful token of solidarity.

Peruvian Twitter users highlighted the action with messages from the microblogging network, such as Lorena Fernald (@LorenaFernald [4]) [es] who tweeted:

@LorenaFernald [5]: Hasta en los lugares menos pensados colaboran con #PonleCorazón [6]. Y tu, ya colaboraste? http://youtu.be/RNjogs257Po  [7] vía @youtube [8]

@LorenaFernald [5] [es]: Even in the most unthinkable places they are collaborating with #PonleCorazón [6]. What about you, have you contributed? http://youtu.be/RNjogs257Po [7] vía @youtube [8]
