The current administration mentioned there would be a revolution in Education (2010). Little did they know since, yes, there is a revolution in progress yet not coming from their ministry and their public polices but from the students themselves! (2011). Watch for yourself / comment / share.

Chile struck by earthquake
Chile was struck by a severe earthquake on Feb 27th at 3.45am
Many cities in the 7th and 8th regions were badly damaged or simply destroyed. Along with that, a sequel of tsunamis hit many coastal villages and towns, wiping out entire locations and taking their inhabitants’ lives. In light of this disaster, Chile has organized a fund raising event starting March 5th at 10pm and ending on March 6th at midnight. (Santiago times, GMT -4)
Please join this initiative by bringing your donations to official collecting points across the country. Also, for Chileans here and overseas, you can follow the Telethon on the Internet and make your contributions by visiting www.chileayudaachile.cl (The Official Site)

You’ll find a number of ways to make a donation from the RELIEF-Fundrasing website.
It is all in Spanish though and largely targeted to Chileans. Still, there is important information to make contributions from overseas.
From your mobile (within the US, to my understanding)
