Radio Guest List—Guayaquil, Ecuador—July 9, 2016

IMG_20160707_230509This week, the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from Guayaquil, Ecuador, the country’s largest city. A 7.8 earthquake struck the small Andean country on April 16, 2016, leaving tens of thousands of Ecuadorians without food, water, or shelter. Volunteers were sought to help begin relief efforts to assist the country in emerging from such tragic circumstances. All Hands Volunteers launched the Ecuador Earthquake Response, vowing to help hundreds of families rebuild and regain the normality that was lost. Joining Peter Greenberg is Gary Pitts, Director of International Assessments and Disaster Response at All Hands Volunteers, discussing the organization’s efforts to help 250 displaced families move into permanent homes and the lifelong relationships that develop during volunteering projects. Tanya Glanville-Wallis, Director of PR & Communications at All Hands Volunteers, speaks about how she went from corporate lawyer to full time volunteer, the many places the organization assists, as well as how 100 percent of the donations made online go to the organization’s projects around the world. There’s all of this and more when the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from Guayaquil, Ecuador.
