translated from Spanish: Don Francisco does not rule out new Chile helps Chile with pandemic

With satisfaction still in the body – having managed to surpass the 2018 target with an emergency Telethon – Mario Kreutzberger, Don Francisco, did not yesterday ruled out the possibility of spearheading a Chile-style program helping Chile, this time to alleviate the effects of pandemic that currently hits the country and the world.
Thus, the animator opened to replicate the solidarity campaign he led after the earthquakes of 1985 and 2010, to deal with the economic repercussions that are already visible that will leave the current crisis for Covid-19.
“At some point we’re going to need a lot more than we need each other today and that’s what we’re willing for,” Cooperativa radio told radio. “We have this instance of the Teletón, which is easily transformed by name to a Chile helps Chile, because to get out of this pandemic Chile has to help Chile and when they ask us we will say present,” he added.
Despite the circumstances, which forced the Telethon to be adapted to a format almost entirely at a distance, with Don Francisco himself from home for being the risk group for coronavirus, the campaign was a success. With no goal set, and only with donations via the web, the solidarity marathon ended with more than $34 billion gathered, a figure that far exceeded $32 billion in 2018.
After that triumph, Kreutzberger confessed to the media cited that he felt “total relaxation”. “Then you sleep what you didn’t sleep the previous day because this Telethon was very, very difficult and well, it had a good result,” the communicator said.
He also noted that it was something “unprecedented in world television, unprecedented in communications I believe, that a virtual Telethon of these characteristics has never been made”.
