Weeks after a powerful earthquake shook Colombia, Colombians in New Hampshire are banding together to send supplies and aid for recovery efforts.
The Latin Bakery in Nashua is part of a network that has sprung up in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, sending supplies to the places most affected. Jhon Nieto Orozco is packing boxes to send down.
“We’re collecting diapers, hygiene products and cleaning products,” he said. “It’s what’s most needed in this moment in Colombia, because food isn’t as necessary.”
Other local businesses are also collecting donations, including La Mulita in Rye, Casa Blanca restaurant in Nashua, and the Sagamore Court Leasing office in Portsmouth.
