Tartagal - how you can help

The non-partisan website: http://www.tartagal.org is coordinating places and efforts to help the victims of the mudslides in Tartagal. Red Solidaria (www.redsolidaria.org.ar) is listing their efforts on their home page too.

They are concentrating on collecting the following donated items for transport to the area: liquids of all kinds, tetrabricks of milk, drinking water, food, clothing for children and adults (bagged separately if possible to facilitate distribution), rubber boots, blankets, mattresses, big trash bags and packing tape.

Tartagal.org suggests the following collection points:
