This is not a charitable donation it is a sponsorship. These amounts can lower your profitability in a given year. If your corproation made too much money and put you in a higher tax bracket it may be prudent to spend some money as in a sponsorship. This does not appear to be the case.

This was a poor choice given the timing.

Getting local peruvian support is a good choice.
