danhilden > Burners Without Borders volunteers building a cornerstone. The forms that they are putting up will be filled with concrete and removed when it has dried. A rebar internal frame should prevent these structures from falling in a quake, meaning people can build a cheap brick or adobe house around the cornerstone and use it for a shelter if another quake hits. In the meantime the fact that the cornerstones have a toilet and shower means sanitation conditions will improve greatly.

Foreign disaster relief given to the government has mostly been used to repair public infrastructure such as roads and plumbing systems.

In the background is a concrete "cornerstone" a structure housing a shower, toilet, and wash basin made by Burners Without Borders volunteers. The group has built schools, houses, and a handfull of cornerstones around Pisco.
