       USAID awards $100,000 grant to Peruvian



       NGO to help clean up La Pampilla oil spill






                         THE US Agency for International Development
                         (USAID) has awarded a grant worth $100,000
                         to the Peruvian environmental fund Profonanpe
                         to support clean-up operations related to an oil
                         spill that occurred at La Pampilla earlier this
                         year. The funds are expected to fuel Profonanpe’s

                         (SERFOR) in an effort to mitigate the oil spill
                         and prevent damage to wildlife.
