To My Dear Friends of SpanishDict
SpanishDict's Dear friends,
I want to thank all people concerned for my person and family. Thanks to God we are all fine. The lack of electricity and communication was the main effect for my family. This is nothing compared to what happened in other regions (Concepcion, Maule) in southern of Metropolitan region where I live.
In such places the situation is terrible, destruction in coastal areas mainly since they were affected by a tsunami, leaving dead, wounded and missing people.
The government, armed forces and volunteers are distributing food, water and support, but it is not easy to arrive to everyone. The earthquake had a magnitude of 8.8 on the Richter scale.
I must also tell you that solidarity is present through the organization of a Teleton, i.e. a collection of funds gathered by individuals and companies that make money deposits in a couple of Banks with a big campaign. All the TV channels have joined in just one transmission during 17 hours presented by Don Francisco.
Also international donations or direct collaboration (campaign hospitals, satellital phones, professional volunteers, etc) have been received from many countries.
Again I want to thank you for your prayers and good wishes which certainly they helped with their moral force.
A big hug to all my friends from SpanishDict.
Best Regards
Carlos F.
P.S.: Please, excuse my English

Hola Carlos, recien leo a cerca de tus noticias y claro me dan gran gusto saber que vos y tu familia estan bien! Es increible ver las imágenes de chile y la desvastación provocada por el terrremoto y sunami. Pero estoy seguro que la solidadridad de todo el pueblo chileno afrontará esta desgracia y seguirán adelante como siempre. Un gran abrazo desde la Florida.

¡Qué gusto da saber que estás bien Carlos! Espero que el dolor y sufrimiento que estáis pasando termine rápido y que Chile se pueda recuperar pronto porque no creo que sea fácil que después de un terremoto ocurra un tsunami...
Espero que te podamos tener con normalidad aqui entre nosotros pronto. ¡Un abrazo Carlos!
