A telethon* running on Chile TV and available in over 20 countries has been working to raise money for relief and reconstruction efforts in Chile. "Chile Helps Chile" was initiated by Don Francisco, host of the country's popular show, "Sabado Gigante" and has been organized in 4 days, only. The goal of the telethon was to raise 15 billion Chilean pesos, equal to about $30 million in U.S. currency. The money will be used to build 30,000 emergency homes in Chile. 'Chile Helps Chile' has exceeded expectations, bringing in over 30 billion Chilean pesos, equal to just over $60 million in U.S. currency. A large group of organizations have mobilized to bring aid to Chile. See google's Chile Earthquake Relief page to learn how you can help the nation's continuing recovery.

*The major Chilean television networks hold an annual telethon called "Teletón" to raise funds to help children with developmental disabilities. The Chilean telethon host has always been Mario Kreutzberger, also known as Don Francisco, who is the symbol of "La Teletón" in Chile. In Chile, the telethon is an event of national unity and is proportionally, the most widely watched telethon in the world. |
