  Earthquake volunteers, Paracas
  by Elaine Stevenson

  On August 15, 2007 an earthquake measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale devastated the Peruvian city of Pisco, and the surrounding areas. Over 650,000 people were affected by the disaster, which left more than 100,000 people homeless. / / Many of the homes, including this one in Paracas, a small city about 15 minutes by road from Pisco, were built of a local mudbrick known as ‘adobe’. Many of the structures which remained standing after the earthquake needed to be demolished, including this one. / / The volunteers in this image were working with Hands On Disaster Response and came to Pisco specifically to help people who’d been affected by earthquake. Day after day, week after week, month after month, they cleared the rubble from the fallen buildings and helped demolish those which were no longer safe and needed to be removed. These same volunteers also helped to build temporary houses and classrooms and assisted other agencies in many different projects. / / Volunteers came from many countries, and those in this picture alone were from Canada, the USA, New Zealand and England. / / / All artist proceeds from sale of this work will be donated to Hands On Disaster Response.

  Through the eyes of a child, Ica
  by Elaine Stevenson

  In August 2007, a major earthquake devastated a number of Peruvian cities, including the city of Ica. This photograph was taken approximately four and half months after the earthquake on the day that UNICEF organised a special activity day for the thousands of children who lived in Ica. The photograph was taken while we waited for transport to go the stadium where the festivities were being held. The day itself was all about fun and games and treats for the children but reality was rather sobering, that these children had lived through something more terrifying than most people will ever see in their lives, two and half minutes where the world literally shakes buildings to pieces. / / Location: Ica, Perú / Proceeds from sales of this image will be directed to Hands On Disaster Response This organisation provides assistance in disaster zones during the initial stages of the emergency.

  Youthful resilience
  by Elaine Stevenson

  Location: Pisco, departamento de Ica, Perú / / This photograph was taken in November 2007 inside on of the many temporary camps that were set up in and around the city of Pisco after a major earthquake destroyed most of the city’s homes. Out of view, washing hangs to dry in the sun, a couch and some chairs form a make shift living room and office inside a large tent, and pictures hang carefully placed inside the same tent, giving a feeling of family and home. Their houses might be piles of rubble but life continues and the smiles remain. / / / 50 per cent of the artists proceeds from sales of this image on RedBubble will be donated to Hands On Disaster Response This organisation provides assistance in disaster zones during the initial stages of the emergency.
