The Chilean Earthquake – How to Help

Valparaiso, ChileIt's devastating to read about the destruction in Chile.  I visited the country in 2006, and was impressed with the optimism, self-reliance, and grit of the Chilean people.  The company had made enormous strides since the terror of the Pinochet years.  I have a good friend that lives in the southern city of Pucon, and while news accounts I've read state that the damage there is mostly minor, I cannot help but feel anxious.
 
Damage in Valparaiso, an old city laced with funiculars, sound particularly wrenching.  Other cities including Santiago and Talca, near the epicenter, have had horrific damage.
 
Here are some links to some NGOs that are assisting with earthquake relief:
