COMMENTARY

We think that this volcano eruption is very impacting because all the flights that were going to Europe are now canceled and the foreign people that were in Europe will be stranded there until the sky has cleared. This means many people will be without their families for some time.

COMMENT: We think that its very depressing for these people to be left homeless because of rain. Lula is also very nice by helping them with some money so they can "rebuild" their life. Its also very good that the Governor of Rio will spend 562 million dollars on rebuilding Rio's houses. We just hope this wont have much effect on Brazil's tourism, because its a beautiful place to visit.

Commentary

We think that this earthquake affected a lot the life style of Chileans because they don't have the same life as before because every thing was destroyed. We think people and countries should be considerate and donate money and food to help Chile move on.
