Fundraiser planned for Peru earthquake victims

PROVIDENCE -- Hispanic leaders plan to hold a fundraiser to help the victims of last week's deadly earthquake in Peru.

The disaster ravaged parts of the country and killed hundreds of people.

The Latin Solidarity Committee says it plans to announce details of the fundraiser at a press conference in Providence this afternoon.

The group -- which was formed to aid those affected by disasters in Latino countries -- says it expects Providence Mayor David Cicilline and other elected officials to attend the announcement
