Chile Earthquake Update

The CLC bookshop in Talca has been evacuated as it has been declared uninhabitable by the local council. The problem is the large Catholic Church opposite the shop which is very unstable and in danger of collapsing following last month’s earthquake. Behind the bookshop CLC has a patio area where it is safe to put up a temporary sales room and this is being constructed at the moment.

It is hoped that Williams Verdejo, the shop manager, and his wife Adriana will be able to attend customers from here from this weekend, April 10th. Praise the Lord that things are now almost back to normal in the Conception bookshop. Director Isaac Zuniga says that this is quite miraculous considering that transport systems and general commerce are not yet functioning properly in the city.
