HAITI: EARTHQUAKE RECOVERY UPDATE

. One hundred percent of gifts made to this advance will help the people of CHILE: EARTHQUAKE RECOVERY UPDATE
Less than a week after a massive earthquake rocked Chile and amid continual after-shocks since, a local ecumenical relief team made a first foray to the hardest hit areas to assess damages and channel aid received from UMCOR and other agencies.
Juan Salazar, president of Methodist Social Ministries and a member of the Inter-ecclesiastic Emergency Committee, participated in the delegation that visited Talca, Concepción, Curicó and other parts of the Maule Region on Thursday.
He described the scene in the city of Talca, 186 miles south of Santiago, as "absolutely sad… everything desolate, most of the homes and commercial centers destroyed."
Talca is the capital of Maule Region, which has suffered most of the as yet uncertain total number of deaths from the quake and remains under a state of emergency.
Salazar said in an email, "Seeing the anguish in people's faces and witnessing their fear of the after-shocks was exhausting." Nevertheless, he added, "what is most important is to be here with them."
You can be there, be hope for the people in Chile. Financial support can be made to Chile Emergency Advance #3021178 .
UMCOR: ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING MARCH 14

"Gifts to UMCOR supporting Haiti relief efforts are expected to exceed $25 million. One hundred percent of donations to UMCOR's Haiti Emergency Advance benefits God's most vulnerable children in Haiti," said General Board of Global Ministries President Bishop Joel Martinez in a letter to United Methodist Church bishops. "The same is true of gifts for the Chile Earthquake response."
"As you know," Bishop Martinez stressed, "UMCOR is able to make this promise because administrative expenses are covered through One Great Hour of Sharing."
