A Thon for Solidarity

The effects of the cold wave will not stop. The number of hectares of crops flooded tripled in one week and the Canal del Dique gap can not be controlled. Shelters for those affected can not cope.

Semana

really

not that much is known internationally about the terrible situation in my country because of winter, so I dedicate this post to tell what is happening and make an invitation to solidarity with the victims and together we help improve things.

The question is this, and rain throughout the rainy season has been particularly hard on my country with floods and landslides. The rivers have overflowed to the point where entire populations are fully flooded, the water reaches the roof of the houses. The biggest drama is living near my hometown (I live in Barranquilla, capital of the department Atlantic), this has been the region most affected because the force of water opened a hole in the Canal del Dique, and all the people around them are completely under water.

So far there 1'959 .928 people affected, 246 dead, 246 wounded and 99 missing, according to the report. The rains affects more than 400 thousand families in over 650 municipalities in 28 of the 32 departments in the country, where winter destroyed 2,938 homes and leaving 296,340 others in poor condition.

The outlook is very discouraging because it seems things will not improve but are getting worse. So I ask you to be in solidarity with Colombia and help, there are lots Weekday help. I myself along with my friends we are helping to organize an event called Twitteraton Barranquilla (If you want to know more about the event and spend an advertising Tweet HERE and HERE ).

page in humanitarian Colombia ( HERE) Further information, figures, lists of things needed and many ways to help, remember that are people who are homeless, Christmas is coming and who knows that protect them. In the website of the Colombian Red Cross ( HERE ) may also find ways to donate money and in kind things to help the victims.

also if they want help and have Facebook can join the Fans page LG Colombia ( HERE) to donate $ 500 dollars to Colombia Humanitarian each new Fan.

I finally as together we can do much more, I ask you to take this Banner blogging for many more people aware of the situation and together we help. Spread the word, invite all to join. (Picture taken from http://blog.bolololab.com/ )

Remember. Run. Survives.
Upon awakening in a dark elevator in motion, the only thing that Thomas does remember is his name. Do not know who he is. Nor where it goes. But not alone: \u200b\u200bwhen the box reaches its destination, the doors open and is surrounded by a group of young people. "Welcome to the area, Novato."
Area. An open space surrounded by huge walls. Like Thomas, none of them know how you got there. Or why. What they are sure of is that every morning the stone gates of the labyrinth that surrounds them open and at night, close. And someone new every thirty days is given for the elevator.
A fact radically alters routine of the place: get a girl, the first sent to the area. And more surprising still is the message it brings. Thomas will be more important than you think.
