Some of my friends from Playa went to Majahual yesterday, read about it and see the pictures here: http://www.playa.info/playa-del-car...tance-needed-mahajual-asap-playa-folks-3.html You'll have to scroll down to Heather's post
Wow! Thanks for that update Laura. Since the major media outlets seem to focus on the main tourist areas that did not even get hit real bad, I had no idea how bad Majahual got it. I am donating to the fund listed in the thread you linked to as we speak. And I encourage everyone to do the same.
This looks like the quickest way of those in need receiving aid as more trips with supplies are planned. Interesting to note that this was the first aid to reach the area other than the Army. The paypal address they are collecting from is helpthechicas@lunabluehotel.com
A couple of videos of the destruction.... [media=youtube]9IVnu9O2S34[/media] [media=youtube]5NLHYlEbfhU[/media]
those pictures are heartbreaking :cry: :cry: :cry: ... I made a donation through PayPal, and I urge everyone else to PLEASE give what you can ... these people have lost everything!
