They went, in their entirety to our chosen charity, Coaniquem, who have three rehabilitation centres in Chile (Santiago, Antofagasta and Puerto Montt).

They are the only such centres in Latin America. Coaniquem apart from a full range of treatments for cases of burnt children, has its own workshop speacialising in the production of compression garments.

All the funds collected by the Chilean stand  at various ALAF fairs, from 2003-2006 were devoted to buying necessary machines for this sewing workshop.
