If you’re interested in helping the earthquake victims of Chile and are unsure of where to make a donation, you might want to consider the international disaster relief agency ShelterBox.  They deliver emergency shelter (a ten- person tent, blankets, water purification, storage equipment, a stove, cooking utensils, basic tools, children’s activity pack and other vital items) to people affected by disaster worldwide.         

I first mentioned ShelterBox after the quake in Haiti.   They’ve helped many people there and are now helping the earthquake victims of Chile.  You can read about it here and here. 

To read more about ShelterBox and or make a donation, go here.
