Volunteer with Badgers For Ecuador to help victims of the Ecuadorian Earthquake
On April 16th a 7.8 earthquake hit the coastal zone of
Ecuador, causing around 580 deaths and unmeasured economic loss. Over 23,000
people were left homeless, without access to water, electricity and basic
hygienic services. Around 5,000 people are injured and medical and rescue teams
in the affected zones are struggling to meet the demand for help.
BadgersForEcuador is
an Ecuadorian student and community based coalition united in the Madison area,
with the purpose to provide relief to the victims of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake
that struck the coast of Ecuador on April 16th. We are: college students from
UW-Madison, MATC, Edgewood College; high school students from West High School,
Madison Country Day School; and most importantly, members of La Asociación de Ecuatorianos en
Wisconsin (The Association of Ecuadorians in WI).
Please stay tuned to
our website badgersforecuador.com or our Facebook page Badgers For Ecuador
if you would like to volunteer.
