Centro Chileno Lautaro

The Centro is raising money for the School of Odontology in Chile to be delivered to Roberto Gamboa, the Economic & Administrative Director of the Odontology Faculty at the Universidad de Chile. This faculty, its staff and students have been in the front lines during the last few months providing medical care for the injured and disabled during the Chile Desperto social activism. They have treated and will continue to treat those who have ocular and mandibular trauma, providing long term rehabilitation services as well. Although labor is often donated, supplies are short and expensive. Your donation is tax-deductible and will help the School of Odontology in Chile continue to provide both urgent and ongoing care – The Centro has already had a campaign online on Facebook this January and raised $760, these funds will be released to the Centro by the end of February, we’d like to take this opportunity to ask for further support so that we can double this amount before the campaign’s end…

Please send your contributions to Centro Chileno Lautaro, 237 Kearny St, #342, San Francisco, CA 94108, specifying Chile Campaign on Memo.

Les invitamos a unirse a la única organización sin fines de lucro inscrita en el norte del estado de California que representa a la comunidad chilena. Somos lo que los miembros decidan.
Necesitamos aumentar nuestra membresía, agregar voces nuevas para formar parte del directorio y activar nuestra participación en la comunidad más allá del festival anual y el picnic de fiestas patrias. Con todo lo que está ocurriendo en nuestro país esta organización presenta una oportunidad de unidad para realizar eventos solidarios y promover la cultura chilena.

Queremos agradecer a toda la comunidad chilena que pudo acompañarnos este domingo 15 de septiembre en nuestra celebración de las fiestas patrias. Gracias por venir desde Los Ángeles, Manteca, San Francisco y el East Bay.  Este evento no sería posible sin el apoyo de todos los voluntarios que trabajaron desde principios de semana para realizar el evento – Pamela Alarcón, Vera Don-Doncow, Eduardo Jiménez y Joaquín Méndez, y nuestros directores Lizzie Brown-Jeremi, Mónica Castillo, Alex Don-Doncow, Maria Moreno, Mónica Salas, Marci Valdivieso, Alexis Zuniga. La alegría y autenticidad nos la brindaron los músicos y el sonido con Mauricio Bertín, Viviana Morales y Los Reptilianos y Axel Herrera y los vendedores de comida típica – ChileLindo, Maria Cecilia Navarrete y Sabores del Sur. ¡Sigamos celebrando nuestra cultura juntos! Apoyemos los programas chilenos en el área para que continúen forjando la conexión con nuestras raíces.
