Turn in your guns for food.

"I grew up in Chorillo. I love Chorillo. But after the invasion I had to leave. For my family's safety I had to leave. All of these gangs, the drugs, the guns. I could not raise my family there anymore. People in the streets have better guns than the police. That is what the invasion did. It changed my home. Yo soy de la base! soy basista. but I had to leave...." - from one of my interviews

8:01 a.m. - This morning started the "Change your weapon and ammunition for food" on 25th Street Chorrillo in the church of Our Lady of Fatima. 

At the site, maintained tight security. Proof of this is that staff of the Explosives Unit of the National Police made a preliminary inspection of the church to ensure protection for people who come to the place. 

The authorities have reiterated that when people come to surrender their weapons or ammunition are not going to ask questions or challenge. Meanwhile, the media should leave the area to keep absolutely confidential the identity of those individuals. 

After verifying the arms or ammunition, people will be given vouchers to make purchases of food and medicine in any supermarket. 

The weapons are delivered confidentially-in ceremony will be inventoried and destroyed, except those which have been stolen, to be returned to their owners after checking with the Public Ministry.
