Chile Earthquake Relief Effort

March 18, 2010

These are our first photos as we went into Lota. It is virtually a tent city with most business closed and many houses damaged some to the point of being uninhabitable. THESE PEOPLE NEED HELP. The local government said we were the FIRST to visit the area from "outside". PLEASE LOOK AT THESE CONDITIONS AND HELP US HELP THESE PEOPLE. We will be sending a 40' container as quickly as we can pack it and find the money to ship it. We are also looking for people to go on a medical/evangelistic/building campaign sometime in the next 2 months. HELP HELP HELP!!!!

A water truck bring potable water to La Vega and New Augusta. It comes every OTHER day. NOT DAILY.	A line of people getting water to do ALL that they need water for. SO LITTLE FOR SO MUCH NEED. I talked to the people in this line and they say that the amount they are able to get only lasts one day.	Getting water in whatever container they can bring.
Lota needs winter clothing, children clothing, blankets, tents, baby diapers, and adult diapers. We can ship this down to Lota on a 40' container like the one you see in this picture WITHOUT being charged custom fees under the current state of disaster. The local government is pleading for these things for the 250 families in New August and La Vega. PLEASE, THIS IS AN URGENT PLEA!!!!
