Little Lucila still helping her belovèd Chile


Hi,

Just wanted to note here that Lucila: a play for Gabriela Mistral was shown once in my home and will be shown again to a Unitarian forum. We passed the hat for donations for Chile and came up with $250 the first time, all of which we are sending to a real person in Santiago who has worked with a theatre group in poor neighborhoods and through them will give it directly to someone(s) in dire need at this time.

His name is Mauricio and he is a friend of my poet friend, Monique Laforce. He rented a room from her when he was working on his PhD at the University of Laval. Later, when he was working, back in Santiago, he paid for Monique to travel to Chile.

Lucila was even lovelier, to me, this last time. Thanks again to all who gave the play their time and talent, their heart and soul.
