Editor,

Having been in the middle of a slight earth tremor, which frightened me quite a bit, I can’t even begin to comprehend the terror that the people of Chile felt a few days back when a 8.8 magnitude quake - one of the most powerful recorded - devastated central parts of the country, killing more than 700 people. 

My only hope is that the world is as generous to you as they were to the people of Haiti. My prayers go out to those that you lost and those that remain. May God protect you all.
