Theosophical News
2011 The Chile TS Headquarter reopens The Theosophical Society in America (TSA), along with many other sections around the globe, was distressed when hearing of the devastating February 2010 earthquake in Chile that all but destroyed that section’s headquarters building. In response TSA agreed to act as a clearinghouse to receive donations from TS and TOS groups all around the world and to responsibly distribute them to our Chilean brothers as they documented their progress and readiness to receive the funds so collected.
Members from the TSA, the TOS in America, as well as international TS communities and TOS organizations that held special fundraising activities contributed generously toward the rebuilding effort in Chile. Contributions totaled over $15,000! Staying in close contact with the Chilean Section as the project progressed, these funds, amounting to about half of the total rebuilding cost, enabled the Chilean Section to reopen their headquarters building on June 6, 2011 for a celebratory public meeting. The TSA is grateful to have been instrumental in facilitating this kind of cooperative effort where Theosophists could help one another through a time of difficulty.
