After Chile quake 2010, Hillary Clinton to hand deliver aid (CS Monitor 3/1/10)

Clinton said earlier Monday, shortly after her arrival in Montevideo, Uruguay, for the inauguration of President José Mujica, that she would not only be delivering communications equipment requested by Chilean officials when she visits there Tuesday, but that more such equipment will follow. Clinton’s plane is also delivering a communications technician to help the Chilean government address its communications shortfalls with areas cut off by the quake.

One of the objectives of her stop in Santiago will now be to take stock of other needs during her talks with outgoing President Michele Bachelet and with President-elect Sebastian Piñera.

“One of the reasons why [Chilean officials] have asked me to continue my trip is to assess whatever else they might need,” Clinton said, “and immediately to begin the process of providing it.”

In Washington, State Department officials say Chile has also requested water purifications systems and at least one field hospital.

Excellent news. Travelling that far out, she is making great use of her trip to bring much needed support at a time of crisis in Chile.

BTW, I was looking up her travel plans; she is raking up one heck of a mileage record in this trip to an already loaded record!!! Bless her heart.
