Reach out for Chile

"Generosity lies less in giving much than in giving at the right moment." ~ Jean de la Bruyere

 

 

In the wake of the earthquake in Haiti, an even bigger quake has also hit Chile. It was even stronger (at 8.8 magnitude) than that of the Haiti tremor and was reported to have actually shifted the Earth's axis. And yet one wonders why the news on Chile has been sporadic and shortlived. We may not fully realize the extent of devastation this quake has wrought but it is a fact that many were affected. And many need help. Aftershocks are still felt even at this time.

 

Donations from various sources to Chile has not been forthcoming, if not slow. If you are moved to help a brother in need, please remember Chile in your prayers. Maybe even forego a cup of espresso or latte and share with those who need it more. The cost of a cup may just be a blessing for someone in Chile today.
