A woman holds her baby inside a tent after their homes were destroyed when an earthquake hit Peru's central coast a year ago in Pisco, August 14, 2008. When the 8.0 magnitude earthquake hit two coastal cities and destroyed 37,000 homes in Peru August 15, 2007, President Alan Garcia promised a speedy reconstruction effort that would burnish the country's new image of dynamism. One year later in Pisco, at least 56 families are still living in tents, and the most visible signs of government action are one-room shacks made of particle board for homeless families.
