How To Help Chile

It used to be that when disaster struck, all we could do is read about it in the news and do nothing except pray for those whose lives took a turn for the worse. That was all good as we were helpless to help the helpless but a great man once told me, ‘You can’t start the engine of a broken down car by praying, you do it by working on the engine or getting someone to do it.’ Those words continue to ring true and thanks to technology, we may not know how to work on the engine, but we can definitely do something to get it running again!
