Justin Bieber Donates Thousands To Flood Victims in Peru, Superstar’s Charitable Efforts Continue//

Justin Bieber’s charitable work continues. The superstar has donated $24,000 //
to victims of the recent flooding in Peru, South America. In addition, one ton of aid,//
including non-perishable food, water bottles, and blankets, was also donated by fans//
and collected just before the Biebs’ Purpose World Tour concert at Lima’s National Stadium on April 5.//
“Move Concerts” promoters and Peru media outlets reported that the “Red Solidaria de Juguete Pendiente charity//
revealed the news of Bieber’s $24,000 donation to the charity on Facebook.//
According to the charity, the pop prince decided to donate during his recent visit to Lima//
after learning that more than a ton of food was collected for the victims before his show.//
Bieber’s financial gift will be used to provide medical care, art workshops, //
and activities to over 4,000 people affected by the flooding in the port city of Huarmey. //
Peru suffered significant damage after torrential rain from mid March caused rivers to overflow //
and touched off mudslides that destroyed roads, farms, and property. According to the National Emergency Operations Center, //
94 people were killed in the floods, 171,236 were left homeless, 247,057 homes were damaged,//
and a total of 1,075,932 people were affected in total. The flooding is considered//
to be the worst the Andean country has suffered in decades. //
Bieber’s gift of $24,000 was praised by Move Concerts and media outlets in Peru.//
The pop prince’s concert in Peru was just one of a number of stops on the Latin America leg of his Purpose World Tour,//
which also included Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica, and more. //
Justin Bieber fans likely won’t be surprised by this latest report of the Canadian star’s generosity.//
Last month the Inquisitr reported that the “Sorry” singer’s ongoing donation to Pencils of Promise was now at $2.2 million//
Bieber donates $1 to the Pencils of Promise organization (PoP) from every Purpose Tour ticket sold.//
PoP is a non-profit organization dedicated to building schools, providing resources, //
and increasing access to education for children in the developing world.//
It was founded in 2008 by Adam Braun, who is the brother of Bieber’s longtime manager Scooter Braun.//
As of last year, PoP has built over 330 schools and helped over 35,000 children in developing countries.//
The update on Bieber’s rolling donation to the organization arrived in April along with new box office figures which revealed //
that his hugely successful Purpose World Tour has grossed around $200 million since last year.//
Billboard reported, “The first 10 concerts of 2017 totals $40 million,//
bringing the tour’s overall gross to just under $200 million since launching in March 2016.”//
The pop icon’s Purpose Tour kicked off in Seattle, Washington, on March 9, 2016. Billboard also revealed//
that since 2016 “more than 2.2 million tickets have been sold at 122 headlining performances worldwide.”//
Databox Live provided more details. The site reported that 2,229,881 tickets were sold for 122 sold-out shows by April 2017.//
In addition to his continuing PoP donations, Justin also works with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and has done so since 2009. //
