Been glued to the Chilean TV channels and have seen a too much of a close look at the real devastation and needs in Chile today. Not only is new construction needed but with rains and winter coming so many without even a tent! There is a telethon going on for 2 days now and there has been overwhelming support from so many that don't have themselves. Especially from those that are in Chile in areas that were not affected.
We went online to donate and I urge all of you to give from the heart even if just a little. There is dramatic need of diapers, milk for babies, food, water, clothing! Towns and villages have been literally swept away not just by the earthquake and continuous aftershocks but also the tsunami that washed away so much.
We have considered flying down to Chile to volunteer our help however it is difficult once you arrive in Santiago to get to the south where the devastated areas are. You need to request permits, etc. The country is trying to keep areas secure but in the meantime they had 6 aftershocks yesterday, one was 6 on the richter scale and another one was 6.6 so you can see the country is still rocking!
Together we can help! Juntos podemos! Arriba Chile! Volveremos a reconstruir! Keep Chile in your prayers.
