*March 2008 - PROMISES: A Party With A Purpose
The long-awaited news has arrived - We are hosting another concert at Don Ho's on Saturday,
March 29.  This show promises to be as happening as the last, with some of our most dedicated
supporters, Pimpbot, Büsekrüs and Awry By Design entertaining us with their musical talents.  
We are also having for the first time, Breaking The Innocent, who are doing more than just
playing - the band is also providing the entire sound system as well as running the board all
night.  Much thanks to Steve and the guys for taking care of this huge job for us.  Their
drummer, Larry, will also be filming the event for our archives and for the website.   And as if
that weren't enough, there will be four photographers documenting the event!  We are looking
forward to having both photos and video available for our beneficiaries in Perú to see online!

We are also going to have as our openers "Na Kane O Hawaii," a very talented pair of boys from
Castle High School who have a very successful future ahead of them from what we hear (pun
intended).  

Throughout the night, Guest DJ Fernando "The Love Machine" will keep things moving with
his signature antics and Latin music collection.  We will also have a merchandise and info table,
staffed by our volunteers.  The merchandise will include hand-made Peruvian jewelry, our
compilation CD "One Life At a Time," and a few other items for sale.  We will also have door
prizes and raffle items from The 808 Scene Zine, 808 Shows, 808 Tattoo, Quality
Transmission, Jelly's Aiea, Oasis Skateboards, as well as fine and costume jewelry.  A few of the
bands will also have some of their merchandise up.  Please make sure to support them as well.  
There are a few suprises in the wings, so don't miss this party!

The funds raised at the concert will continue to support our efforts in Perú.  Presli has been
selected for further surgery this summer by Rotaplast International.  Dr. Capozzi has taken a
special interest in Presli and we are grateful for his efforts.  Merardo continues to need
medications and bandages, as well as nutritional support for his disorder.  Elaine Binkley has
also been working behind the scenes on the East Coast, gathering more Kerlix and other hard-to-
find items to deliver to Merardo on her return trip later this year.

Advance discount tickets avaiable RIGHT NOW at MusicMatchbox.  Tickets can also be
purchased directly from the bands performing, as well as several others on O'ahu.  Ask your
favorite bands if they have tickets to "PROMISES".

Many thanks to our sponsors, especially The 808 Scene Zine, Pass Out Records, Pimpbot,
Büsekrüs, 808 Tattoo, Castle High's students and so many others who have been so generous with
their support.  Without all of them our desire to help would be just wishes.  But as a team, these
wishes have become PROMISES.

*December 2007- The Year-End Letter  
Mahalo and Gracias to our wonderful supporters!  Since our creation one year ago,
PeruDonations Corporation has been blessed to fund three projects.  We have raised $3158
through benefit concerts, jewelry and CD sales, and monetary gifts from donors like you.  All
proceeds have been used to send goods and provide for the medical needs of poor children in
Perú.  Your generous gifts have gone directly to those in need!

August 2007 – Project Presli – In conjunction with Rotaplast International Inc., Presli Balbin
Ordaya underwent surgery to correct severe deformities to his mouth and eye, both of which now
function properly.  We hope to provide more for more surgery for Presli in 2008.  Many thanks to
Dr. A. Capozzi, and Ely Tinoco Chinchilla.

September 2007 – Mission Merardo – in conjunction with Peru Luz de Esperanza, Doctors B.
Kuhn and M. Lee of Honolulu, and E. Binkley, RN of N. Carolina, Merardo Pillpa Alvarado
received specialized bandages, clothing, and nutritional support for his Epidermolysis Bullosa.  
Merardo now sleeps on a mattress with a pillow instead of on a dirt floor.  

Special recognition to the world languages classes of Ms Oliva Lui-Kwan who have raised
money for all our projects and now have bought a bicycle and Christmas presents for Merardo’s
family.  WAY TO GO, GUYS!!!  We are proud of you!

Christmas 2006 - in conjunction with Andean Outreach Project and Peru Luz
de Esperanza, 400 children in a remote Andean village, most of whom never had celebrated
Christmas before, were treated to a party.  Babies through adolescents received hot cocoa and
rolls, and clothing or a toy.  The village "mamas" who donated the use of their kitchens also
received a whole chicken and other gifts, so their family could have a nice Christmas dinner.

Thanks again to all the bands, businesses, promoters, sponsors, and volunteers who donated their
time and talents at the benefit concerts.

ONGOING PROJECTS:

PeruDonations Corporation was formed with the following goals in
mind:
1) To bring to light the desperate situation in Peru's Andean region;
2) To provide relief and information to those persons who come to
our attention and whom we feel we may be able to help;
3) To concentrate our efforts by only working with a few individuals
at a time, and by choosing our projects with discretion;
4)  To use fund raising and other community resources to help fund
our projects;
5) To coordinate our efforts with other charities and individuals
who share our goals; and,
6) To serve as a point of contact for those who have information to
help us reach these goals.
