(Hola blog, las noticias últimamente sobre Puerto Rico, las Islas Virgin, y el huracán me han devastado. Los hogares son destruidos, los hábitats son destruidos y la gente está en peligro. Por favor, si puede, done para apoyar el socorro en casos de desastre. El resto de este post viene de un artículo muy útil, aquí. Gracias y mis pensamientos son con todos los afectados y familiares de los afectados.)

- If you’re trying to reach people in Puerto Rico — or if anyone there needs help — phone service is probably out, but Remezcla has a list of other options.
