I had the incredible opportunity of living in Ecuador this past year (through the Trent-in-Ecuador program) where I met some of the kindest and most generous people I have ever met. This country is beautiful and these people are beautiful.

 

Tuve la oportunidad increíble de vivir en Ecuador este año pasado (con el programa Trent-in-Ecuador) donde conocí la gente más amable y generosa que he conocido. Este país es hermoso y

las personas son tan hermosas. 

 

The earthquake’s center was 26 kilometers southeast of Muisne, Ecuador. The quake had a depth of nearly 20 kilometers and has generated more than 135 aftershocks (some as strong as magnitude 5.6 according to Ecuador’s seismological institute).

 

El centro del terremoto fue 26 kilómetros al sureste de Muisne. El sismo tenía una profundidad de casi 20 kilómetros y se han generado más de 135 réplicas, algunas de magnitud 5.6  según el instituto sismológico de Ecuador.

 

Why is this an important cause? We are part of a global community. Family members of those who have died are asking for our help, hundreds of homes have been destroyed, and staying hopeful can be difficult. 

 

¿Por qué es esta una causa importante? Porque somos parte de una comunidad global, porque exiten miembros de familias fallecidas , cientos de casas se han destruido y es difícil mantener la esperanza. 

 

Natural disasters strike unexpectedly, and can happen anywhere. This one happened to be in Ecuador, but very well could have taken place where you live. Please contribute what you can. 

 

Desastres naturales llegan inesperadamente y pueden suceder en cualquier lugar. Éste ocurrió en Ecuador, pero podría haber ocurrido donde vive usted. Por favor contribuya lo que puede.

 

Every bit of help is important. Let us stand together in solidarity with Ecuador and Ecuador’s people.

 

Todo ayuda es importante. Unámonos en solidaridad con Ecuador y la gente de Ecuador.
