No need to send help to Paraguay. Electricity was back up and running last night, families and churches are helping the ones that lost their homes, the injured are being taken care of....all without the help of the government. I was actually surprised how quick things got back to normal. Maybe because people don't depend on the government to do everything, then people react and get things done on their own.

BK - “the people” as you call them, realize that governments, especially in Paraguay, are composed of politicians intent on two things only, stealing money and having power over people. After our last dictatorship, Paraguayans don't trust the government and don't ask the government for help. When Lugo was impeached, the piss poor support he got from his “people” shows how socialism/communism is hated in here and will not be accepted. So when shit hits the fan like these tornados, families and churches and friends are the ones that help out and not the government.
