If you live in or around Bariloche and would like to help the victims of the Chilean earthquake, the Chilean consulate has set up a receiving station for goods to be sent to the Red Cross in Osorno. To donate go to Centro Chileno Gabriela Mistral, located on the corner of Sarmiento and Neuquén. They are open Monday to Sunday, 10am to 9 pm. Telephone: (02944)430 630

At this time, they are looking for:
  • Bedding: blankets, sleeping bags, tents, etc
  • Personal hygiene: soap, shampoo, diapers, towels, tooth brushes, etc
  • Cleaning supplies: dish soap, laundry detergent, matches, etc
  • First aid supplies: alcohol, gas, bandages, etc
  • Non-perishable food: mineral water, powdered milk, cooking oil, pasta, sugar, salt, rice, coffee, etc (flower and tea is NOT being allowed due to customs regulations)
  • Clean clothes for children and adults, coats, etc

Please send this information on to anyone you feel can help.
