World Vision Partner with World Vision to help provide relief support and supplies to Chile's quake survivors: http://bit.ly/ChileRelief

On February 27, 2010 an 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck the Latin American country of Chile.

World Vision has begun relief operations following the earthquake and tsunami that followed, which caus...ed extensive damage to areas south of the country’s capital, Santiago.

"It happened in the middle of the night. Everyone was sleeping, and there was no time to escape. Many houses are destroyed; even large buildings have collapsed," said Mariela Chavarriga, Emergency Advisor with World Vision in Chile. "Main roads have been destroyed and communication is very difficult. We are trying to connect with our regional offices but all the phone lines are down."

World Vision has worked in Chile for 30 years and has more than 100 staff in the country, many living and working in areas close to the quake epicenter. World Vision began distributing hundreds of blankets and some water containers to Santiago's earthquake survivors in the first days after the earthquake struck while preparing to start an extensive response in the hardest hit areas south of the capital.
Help support World Vision relief efforts in Chile by donating online at http://bit.ly/ChileRelief or text “CHILE” to “20222” to donate $10. Please continue in prayer with us for the people affected by this disaster. See More

It is with a sad heart that I write to you about a terrible loss to the World Vision family. Six staff members were killed in a brutal and senseless attack on our offices in the Mansehra District of Pakistan. Additionally, eight employees are hospitalized with injuries after the unprovoked assault by gunmen. Four of the staff have been released from the hospital.

Our work in Pakistan is conducted by local citizens. We remember those staff who died as dedicated workers seeking to improve the lives of people affected by poverty and disasters. World Vision has temporarily suspended our operations in Pakistan, but we remain committed to helping children, families, and communities in this country.

As World Vision mourns our colleagues, we ask you to join us in praying for the families of our staff members and the people they serve in Pakistan, including those who respond to kindness with violence.

I'll be taking part in a hunger strike through World Vision https://catalogue.worldvision.ca/Gifts/Forms/EventHome.aspx?eventId=264130&action=attach Please donate whatever you are able. My hunger strike will last 72 hours and starts April 4th. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/group.php?v=info&ref=mf&gid=182058141781 here is more information on it.

Thank you for your support and kindness. A friend of mine started this off and this is his write up about it:
My goal is to have 525600 minutes of people fasting, one after another. idealy, I would love at least 12 people (including myself) to commit to fasting for a month, but it may be hard to find people that commit to that much. For now anyways, its open to much shorter fasts, but hopefully in the future, it will have more people who all commit to doing longer fasts.

I started of the fundraiser at the stroke of midnight to kick off the new year. I fasted for a week that time and my second fast will be two weeks long starting march 1st.
I am doing this to raise money to buy lunches for kids in developing countries around the world. For every dollar he raises. the World Food Programme will donate $4.00. For every $75.00 raised, 250 kids will receive nutritional lunches for two months.

If you wish to donate, see one of the links attatched to this page.

If you wish to participate, send me a message saying what ever you want as long as it includes how long you wish to fast for: the minumum is 24 hours, and the amount goes up by 24 hour intervals.

World Vision Churches, companies and other groups around the country are hosting World Vision Caregiver Kit assembly events that will help provide basic medical aid to quake-affected families in Haiti.

Find out how to host your own Caregiver Kits assembly event: http://www.worldvision.org/carekits

Caregiver kits assembled for Haiti will be distributed in the Port-au-Prince area throughout World Vision's ongoing response to clinics, hospitals, tent shelters, families as needed, etc.

About World Vision Caregiver's and Caregiver Kits: Over 77,000 dedicated family caregivers and volunteers are providing comfort and care for people living with AIDS in Africa, Asia and Latin America. These couragious caregivers often sacrifice everything to care for sick relatives, neighbors and community members. But often, they lack even basic supplies. Caregiver Kits equip them with practical supplies they need to bring dignity and comfort to those living with AIDS, while helping prevent the spread of infection.

Caregiver Kits are assembled by churches and other community organizations then picked up by World Vision to be dispersed to multiple nations where Caregivers are present.

You can make a difference by planning an event with your church or community organization to buy the supplies and assemble Caregiver Kits for World Vision Caregivers.

Equip volunteers caring for those affected by AIDS. Host a Caregiver Kit event at your church, company or school: http://www.worldvision.org/carekits
