As with the earthquake in Haiti, the immediate need in Chile is for donations to established organizations experienced in overseas disaster relief.
For both countries, the recovery and restoration effort will take years, with each phase requiring different skills and material. There are, however,
ways to volunteer certain skills now.
All arms of Points of Light Institute are extending a hand where they can do the most good in the first phase of the Haiti relief effort.
