The <a href="http://www.mdsj.org ">Maryland Province Jesuits</a>, who have a longstanding relationship with the Chilean Jesuits, have established <a href="http://www.mdsj.org/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&amp;Store_Code=MPJ&amp;Category_Code=OD-GF">a Chile Relief Fund</a> to collect donations on behalf of the victims of the devastating earthquake which struck Chile on February 27. In addition, they have created <a href="http://jesuitchileaid.blogspot.com/">a blog</a>, jesuitchileaid.blogspot.com, to provide updates and photos of relief efforts to help victims of the 8.8 magnitude earthquake.</p>
<p><a href="http://jesuitchileaid.blogspot.com/">Their blog</a> includes a recent update from <a href="http://www.jesuit.org">Jesuit</a> Father Eugenio Valenzuela, Jesuit provincial of Chile:</p>
<blockquote><p>Listening everyday to the news about how the earthquake and the  tsunami have affected and damaged our country, we are more aware that we have to  face a hard and long reconstruction in our country.</p>
<p>We are launching  campaigns in order to collect food, water, diapers, mattresses, blankets, tents,  etc. Some are also aimed at recruiting volunteers. All these donations are going  to be sent to the most affected areas of our country.</p>
<p>All the  members of the Jesuit communities in Santiago are supporting in many ways the  different initiatives by: volunteering, repairing houses, hosting victims of the  earthquake, etc.</p>
<p>Since the  catastrophe happened we got all hands on deck and have launched a national  campaign “!CHILE SE LA PUEDE!” which means “Chile you can do it.” Through this  campaign we encourage people to make their donations (money, non-perishable  food, blankets, coal, diapers, etc.). It is a successful campaign so far and we  have had a great response from the Chilean population as well as from many  volunteers who are joining us from different parts of our country. This shows  the strong commitment and solidarity that many people have with other Chileans  who are suffering.</p></blockquote>
