We had a great night back on Friday the 21st May with 40 people coming out to watch a local Chilean surf movie "Chile Oculto" and eat some great Chilean food!
We were outside with fires for warmth reminding us that there are a whole lot of families still in tents after the earthquake. I loved the fact that people came from church, local surfing community and other friends. It was a very cool atmosphere and a highlight was doing a live video conference call to Mitch Anderson in Chile who shared his heart about the local situation there. It was 6am for mitch and 9pm for us, and all went well until the rain started and Aaron and I were left under a plastic tarp to cover the computer and data projector while everyone else bailed to the shelter of the verandah. So funny!
We raised another $1,200 bringing the total to about $5,000, enough to build a house and kit mitch out with new tools. He is looking forward to a shopping spree when I arrive on June 10! Thanks to all who supported this.
