HELP FOR CHILE – UPDATE

 

The Staff Committee wishes to express its deepest condolences to the people of Chile on the unfortunate loss of lives and material damage caused by the earthquake and tsunami that hit that country on February 27, 2010.

 

We have identified three methods of assistance, and wish you are able to collaborate in one or more.

 

The first method is to help directly one of our OAS staff members, Ms. Patricia Leyva, whose family has suffered significant losses.  To this end, account #20-6335 has been set up at the OAS Staff Federal Credit Union.

 

The second method is to contribute to the Chilean Relief effort of the Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) at http://www.panamericanrelief.org.

 

The third method is to donate to an account that the Staff Association has opened to collect donations for the Leo S. Rowe Emergency Fund.  The Fund’s resources have been drastically depleted due to recent catastrophic events in Haiti and Chile.  To ensure its continued viability and ability to assist all members of the OAS family in times of need, any funds collected in this account (60-0663) will be donated to the Leo S. Rowe Emergency Fund on behalf of the staff of the OAS.

 

Thank you
