| Save water by catching it! The rainy season is upon us and backyard rain barrels are superb tools in the quest to save water. In the bathroom, try catching the cold water that comes out of the tap while you are waiting for the hot water in your shower. You can use it to water plants or put it in bottles in the refrigerator for drinking water. Finally, make sure your taps don't leak - a dripping tap could waste as much as 90 litres a week. | |

World Vision has worked in Chile for 30 years and have more than 100 staff in the country, many living and working in areas close to the quake epicenter. However, given the magnitude of this disaster, World Vision is preparing to deploy additional staff to support the relief response.
