Day 1-4

First couple of days in Chile have been interesting. Meeting new people and helping them with an event that raised funds and goods for Consitusion. Due to ``La Semana Sanata``, the Holy Week of Easter, the weekend was dedicated to helping in the event and spending time with the families that we are staying with. Today we sorted throught houndreds of bags of clothing. From children, to women, to men, and of course thousands of baby clothes.

We will be heading down South to the epicenter Wednesday to Friday hoping that everything works out for our favor.

We had a small quake last night. It didn`t shake much and it was only for a few moments, but the reality of the situation finally hit us. The sound was like nothing we have heard before. Our host ran into our rooms to check if we were okay and her teenage daughter fell into our arms crying. These people have been through so much, they live in fear everyday.

That is what we are here for. We are here to give HOPE and dispell fear in situations where courage is needed. The epicenter will be very different than the city we are living in. We won`t have luxuries like running water or electricity, but we have things to give others, not only material necessities, but hope for something more than their present circumstance.
