Mormon Helping Hands, Trujillo Style

Brother Walter Solis is the Public Affairs Director here in the City of Trujillo for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  He organized a huge Mormon Helping Hands Beach Clean-up Day in Huanchaco (just North of Trujillo). 
Alcalda Fernando Bazán thanks the members of the Trujillo Stakes for their service to the Community

The Surf Association thanks the Church for this great clean up effort
7 Stakes participated with over 1000 volunteers.  It was a great day and the beach is clean for the tourist season.
over 1000 members of the Church participated in the clean up
