Cash-strapped, recession-hit fellow Americans or people of the world do not have money to pay a service to be able to ask for money.

Mapuche Communities Complain about Abandonment Feelings and Lack of Assistance

It is true the government of Chile is doing its best to get the situation under control.  It is doing its best to help all its citizens.  So far, some of the remote Mapuche communities have not been reached by all the government teams and supplies sent to the devastated central-south regions.  Yet, they were the most hit by the Feb. 27 quake.  The delay may be due to the remoteness of the areas or has nothing to do with the past uprisings and hijackings that were common in the areas since the Mapuche indigenous groups have formed their alliance.  Find out more about the plight of the Mapuche natives after the quake.  Everyone hopes that the government will do its best to meet these urgent needs.  At the same time, we hope that the Mapuche will lay down their arms so as to avoid any incidents.  Basic needs are the priority right now.

Lo Que Habitat Esta Haciendo en Chile: Se Requieren Voluntarios y Donaciones

Aqui esta lo que Habitat para la humanidad Chile esta haciendo:

"Hábitat para la Humanidad Chile ha trabajado en alianza con el Ministerio de Vivienda por mucho tiempo, así que seguirán siendo aliados en la respuesta. A través de varios tipos de apoyo técnico, Hábitat Chile ayuda a comités de vivienda de comunidades de bajos recursos a acceder a subsidios de vivienda. Estos comités ahora tienen una relación cercana con Hábitat en la evaluación de las regiones dañadas por el sismo.

Mandan Equipos de Evaluacion a Comarcas Afectadas:

Poco después del terremoto, un equipo de evaluación de Hábitat para la Humanidad viajó a las zonas de Santiago, Talca, Puerto Saavedra, Los Angeles, Temuco, Curepto y Gualleco para evaluar los efectos del sismo en comunidades de bajos recursos. Las evaluaciones iniciales indican que el 100 por ciento de las viviendas construidas por Hábitat para la Humanidad Chile no han sufrido ningún daño. Sin embargo, algunas familias con las cuales Hábitat Chile estaba comenzando a establecer relación para apoyarles con la postulación a subsidios para realizar mejoramientos a sus viviendas, sí se vieron fuertemente afectadas...."

Ohio State University Seeks Volunteer Rebuilding Opportunity in Chile This Summer

What would any freshman student do to have a good time?  Spring Break would be where he or she would spend his/her last pennies.  It is not the same thing for an Ohio State University Freshman.  While most students are thinking about going to Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, South Padres island, Jamaica or any other hot Spring Break destinations, Caroleen W. is already thinking about how to spend her Summer vacation.  She is thinking about going to Chile to help rebuild the country's infrastructures that were damaged or destroyed during the recent earthquake and tsunami.

Sites such as Spring Break Holiday Travel has been seeing lots of traffic since the beginning of the year.


Well, to tell you the truth, any young college or university student would not mind going to relax on a beautiful beach with his or her buddies.  After studying hard during the semester, Spring Break offers them the opportunity to kick back and relax on such far-flung places. There is no agenda other than to get out of bed and head to the beach and bar where alcohol and other beverage mixes are served.  That is Spring Break for most students.

Let us give a round of applause for such great young men and women such as Caroleen!  She is making her friends and parents proud!  Way to go, girl!

Caroleen just wants to help in Chile.  She is a Freshman Business major who wants to give some of her precious commodity, her time to those affected by the recent natural disasters.  Let us say bravo, hurray to such noble efforts on her part!

So, if you are an organization that is doing some great work in Chile, please contact us here at HelpChileQuake@Gmail.com.  This way, we will connect her with you!

Caroleen W., thanks for writing and wanting to add your name to this list of volunteers!

What Chile Needs Now

Eyewitnesses have been reporting that every market and supermarket had been looted in hard-hit Conception on Chile's mainland. With no electricity and water services, Chileans were left to fend for themselves. Looters were pillaging gas stations, pharmacies, banks and supermarkets. The police forces were overwhelmed. They were shooting water at the looters. They were doing everything they could to control the situation, but they were outgunned by the large crowd who was caught in a panic rush. That state of catastrophe pushed President Michele Bachelet to sign a decree giving the military control over security in Concepcion. The president and her team intervened by announcing that essentials on the shelves of major supermarkets would be given away for free, under the supervision of authorities who were to distribute food and water. A curfew has also been in effect from 9 P.M. to 6 A.M. That allows security personnel and emergency forces to be out on the streets to rescue and help those still caught under rubbles.

What Chile Needs Right Now:

President Michele Bachelet said that the country needs field hospitals and temporary bridges, water purification plants and damage assessment experts. Chile needs rescuers to give a break to those who have been working from Feb. 27, 2010.
