Students raise over £2000 to get Chile get back on its feet

Saturday 27th March 2010 saw the fantastic 'Sheffield helps Chile' event which was hosted by the Mexican and Latin American Society with the Chilean students here at sheffield.

The event was full to the brim with students and their families to enjoy Chilean food and music, follwed by a party. Whilst the event was a great opportunity for many students to come together, there was strong emphasis on learning about and understanding the effects of the earthquake which hit Chile on 27th February.

From the hard work and generosity of these students, the event raised a total of £2176.33, every penny of which has been directly donated to the Red Cross Chile appeal.

Well done to all those who organised and generously donated.
If you would like to donate to help Chile, please give to RAG's appeal.
