The below message is a real email from a friend of mine from Chile, who needed help in a smaller town. currently all aid recived in Chile only went to bigger cities.
Chile,
Spending 3 months there and we had fell in love with it.
Looking at the news, a few places that we had went before had turned into disaster. So far, none of my friends that i knew had been directly injured by this earthquake but Teresa, a Chilean friend that we met, had some real trouble, not released by the news and media. She was supposed to come to Asia to travel and visit us but....
I'm trying to use this blog as a media to let everyone know what was happening (the real stuff) and help Teresa.
the email is in Spanish, later i translated into English.
Hola a todos!
Como todos ustedes saben la costa centro sur de nuestro país resultó muy afectada por el terremoto. Uno de los pueblos más dañados a consecuencia del sismo y de la gran ola que arrasó con prácticamente todo, es Curanipe, a tan sólo 50 km de Cobquecura, el epicentro del terremoto.
Para los que no saben yo tengo especial cariño por Curanipe ya que mi hermano Carlos, quien es psicólogo del área, su polola y mi padre viven allá (afortunadamente ellos están bien), y las noticias que hemos tenido no han sido muy buenas, pues aún no han recibido ninguna ayuda, toda la ayuda se va a las ciudades o pueblos más grandes, sin embargo pueblos pequeños como Curanipe y aledaños como Pelluhue, Buchupureo, entre otros, la ayuda suele llegar más tarde y agrava más la situación el estar absolutamente incomunicados, sin agua y sin luz.
Sin embargo, la ayuda la necesitan ahora, por lo mismo quiero invitar a todos a ayudar a este pueblo, así que estaremos recibiendo donaciones de todo tipo, tales como ropa, agua, bencina, ropa de cama, remedios, herramientas, alimentos, pañales, etc, etc y entre nosotros iremos a dejar las cosas.
Toda donación la recibiremos en Quillay 2531 depto 401, Providencia (Carlos Antunez con Holanda)
Cualquier cosa pueden llamarme al 7 - 8715349.
Desde ya el pueblo de Curanipe les agradece la solidaridad y buenas vibras de todos ustedes,
Muchos cariños,
M. Teresa Altieri
