Local Immigrant Business Community Aids Mudslide Victims

“Local Guatemalan and Salvadoran businesses have raised more than $150,000 for victims of recent flooding and mudslides in Central America that have killed more than 650 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless.

Washington area branches of the U.S. Salvadoran Chamber of Commerce and the U.S.-Guatemala Chamber of Commerce will deliver $101,370 to nonprofits in El Salvador and $64,197 to those in Guatemala next week, community leaders said. The money was raised during radio telethons over the past two weekends using airtime donated by Mega Communications Inc., a Spanish-language radio company that owns La Mega 94.3/92.7-FM and Radio Capital 730-AM.”
