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! 


VolunteerBlogPost Network is in the business of connecting those with skills and expertise with those who need them the most!  We are the cheerleaders for this burgeoning network of good!

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.
