bowl with basic food supplies/provisions Explanation: Whether its a tray, box, bowl or basket is not clear - all seem to be used for batea. But the latter two would be more useful, so maybe the Foundation appreciated this? |

food (aid) basket Explanation: This is normally the term used in humanitarian aid. Although I am more familiar with meals distributed in schools, it's possible that some groups have experimented with family food packages to give families an incentive to keep their children in school. |

buckets of staple food Explanation: Only medium confidence level since I'm not a native speaker and this may be a bit far-fetched. I've translated and read materials from US-based aid organizations, and they speak in terms of "buckets" of food. What I'm imagining is that in Perú a bucket might be called "batea", or that the organization might have picked up that way of translating "buckets".

The items included in the bucket cost $30 and participants were asked to include an additional $10 for shipping costs. “The whole purpose is one Bucket of Hope provides food to feed one family of four for a week,” said Gary Redwine, senior pastor at Alamo Heights Baptist Church. “For what really is a small amount of money, we have the opportunity of providing a great help for a family that’s going through a tragic situation.” Local churches gathered more than 600 buckets to help families in Haiti.
