In my previous blog entry I had mentioned a story about a Valita, a little girl who needs a new heart. After the story aired both locally and here in the U.S, donations came pouring in that totaled $224,000. Now EsSalud, the national health care nation of the country of Peru, to take care of the remaining cost for Valita's transplant. She has been flown to The University of Minnesota Amplatz Children Hospital along with her father where she awaits her new heart.

After being fourth for pretty much the the entire presidential campaign, Ollanta Humala from the Nationalist party has surged ahead of both Keiko Fujimori and Alejandro Toledo who was been the leader in the polls from the outset.

| Humala went from having 17% of the support to 23% in just a couple of weeks. |
According to the Ipsos Apoyo, Humala leads the other two candidates in a tightly contested race 22.8% to 22.3% and 21.6%. The Elections take place on April 10.
This video below shows the patterns of the polls and illustrate how the numbers have gone up and down with each candidate in the last few weeks before the election.
