TEKAID CHOCÓ. In light of the enormous damage caused by the magnitude 7.4 earthquake that struck Colombia on 10th August, we – musicians, artists and friends of Colombia and its people – join the call for solidarity from Chocó, one of the regions hardest hit by the earthquake. Although the earthquake is now over, and the first phase of the emergency response and humanitarian aid (search and rescue, medical care, basic humanitarian aid, temporary shelter) has now concluded, the second and third stages – rehabilitation and early recovery (restoration of services, damage assessment, rubble clearance, psychological support) and comprehensive, long-term reconstruction (building homes, public infrastructure, economic recovery) – are still ongoing and in need of resources. It is to these last two stages that we wish to contribute.
