Disaster
This isn’t about screen printing, but I can’t help but comment.
The earthquake in Chile
is nearly incomprehensible.
Santiago, Chile has extensive damage.
Santiago is three hundred miles from the epicenter of
the quake. Th at is like
a quake in Philadelphia causing extensive damage in Boston.
I can’ t fa
thom that.
There are an estimated 500,000 homes in ruins. That is every s ingle home
in Boston. Then that is every single home in Boston again!
I spent some time in Chile. There is tremendous damage to a little town called Curico.
Again it is closer than Santiago to the quake center, but it isn’ t really wha
t you normally would call close.
Earthquake damage in Curico, Chile.
It is not even that close to the epicenter. I was there a couple years ago and cannot imagine this happening to a community that was struggling even before the disaster.
I’m looking into what charities will be the best to help with this.
For now I would recommend Doctors Without Borders (doctorswithoutborders.com) who always do a good job and spend their money wisely.
