It is in times like this that we come together as a community and the best part of us has a chance to shine. The image to the left is of the earthquake and resulting tremors we have been having for the last two days. It really looks much worse than it has been here in Santiago. A short article in the Wall Street Journal or BBC News will give you a good understanding why, for the most part, we have not been harmed.

You may want to review some maps put out by the New York Times showing the reach that the earthquake had. As you can see we are at the far end of the danger zone.

To this end, all classes and in-school activities have resumed at their regular times. The city of Santiago has returned to normal so that we can focus on ways to help our Chilean brothers who are truly in need.

This is not to downplay the true suffering of the families who have lost loved ones closer to the epicenter. Our hearts go out to those families, while we are thankful that it was not much worse for everyone here in Chile. We at Escuela Fronteras are collecting non-perishable goods to be donated to Chile's Red Cross to help needy families in the effected zone.

As we have more information, we will update this post on our website. If you need to contact the school, please use the following links to do so: [ Email | Telephone ]

As always, best regards from all of us here at Escuela Fronteras!
