With an awesome team of doctors and fearless coastal warriors we distributed a ton of aid and support for the victims of this epic disaster. We directly reached over 500 people with our diverse medical aid, and distributed enough water filters for 10,000 people to drink clean local water. There is so much work left to do - it will take years of hard work to lift the region back up. The tsunami-quake combo punch severely hit hundreds of miles of coastline.
Strangely and unexpectedly, Hollywood heart throb Paul "Caminante" Walker showed up to help with his team of first-response disaster medics. The media ate it up and this helped us garner media and public support for our hard work in the field. Paul's team kicked ass, helped a lot of people, and Paul proved his chops beyond Hollywood by getting down and dirty in the grittiest tsunami wastelands of Constitucion City. Below is a photo of us with a couple of locals in a refugee camp where we gave much-needed medical attention and water filters for clean, healthy water. Done!
We'll be back in Chile ASAP with a lot more aid and a big shot of inspiration and hope for the tough locals to pick themselves up. ¡Grande, Chile!
