On the evening of
Saturday, April 16th coastal Ecuador suffered a massive earthquake
of 7.8 on the Richter scale. Several
coastal towns and cities have been devastated with a death toll of at least 570
and rising, 1,500 wounded more than 20,000 people left homeless and a long and
difficult path ahead of reconstruction.
The earthquake
directly affected some of our foundation´s staff members. We have moved quickly to gather clothing,
bottled water, bed sheets, flashlights and other supplies to take directly to
the family members of our staff that have been affected, but this effort can´t
stop here and we are requesting support from our friends outside of Ecuador to
establish a emergency relief fund to help our staff´s families rebuild their
homes and lives.
Any donations large
and small are welcome and can be made via the following bank account:
