Graceland Is Offering Trip for Two to Chilean Miner Dubbed Elvis

Now, Elvis the Chilean Miner, will have the opportunity to perform on a larger stage. He is the miner who asked for and received Elvis songs which he used to lead sing alongs with the other trapped miners. Graceland managers and CEOs have just invited him to visit the famed grounds of Graceland. We want to see whether he will accept the offer.

After 69 Days, Chileans Are Free From Their Trap, But Some Like Miner #21 Yonni Barrios Are Still Trapped In Loveless Marriages and Mistresses

Miners with several women fighting for their attention and government's benefits! Chilean miners just join their compadres in the military and other professions where men claim many side relationships!

The drama underground has been lived live on national and international tv sets. Yet the drama that awaits the rescue of these 33 men will be even bigger. They were united underground, but on the surface, all the truth about their loyalty and fidelity to their spouses will come forward. Alas! the Chilean miners are all too human!

News about mistresses juggling for government's benefits and cash aids abound above ground. The trapped men had to decide which women should get the government's benefits. In some cases, the men do have children with several women. In the case of Yonni Barrios, he wants both women to be treated equally by the government. And he wanted both of them to wait for his rescue. The brazen mistress showed up, but the wife did not have the courage to come forward.

One miner has four women fighting over him in an effort to claim compensation offered to the families of those facing between three to four months underground until a rescue shaft can reach them.
Government officials are considering asking the 33 trapped miners to name those they want to claim the benefits entitled to them in a bid to solve problems on the surface.
"There has been a lot of conflict between women," admitted Marta Flores a Red Cross worker at the makeshift camp where relatives wait for news of their loved ones.
"We had a big bust up in the canteen tent when a wife came across a woman who claimed to be her husband's lover – we had to step in and pull them apart before things got physical." At stake are welfare packages issued to the families of the trapped miners as well as future compensation claims that could run into tens of thousands of pounds.
"Unfortunately the conflict stems from money issues," said Mrs Flores. "Some of the men have children from numerous women and all of them have arrived here to stake their claim. I've met five families in this situation but I'm sure there are more." Some women turned up at the camp to discover that their partners already had a wife and children who they knew nothing about.
"Those that truly love their men have slipped away quietly not wanting to cause any more pain to the families but others are putting up a fight." Special welfare officers trained in marital issues have been brought in to provide help to women faced with their husband's infidelity.
One miner, who has not been named, has a first wife he never divorced, his live-in partner, a mother of a child he had several years ago, and a woman who claims to be his current girlfriend all visiting the camp.
"It's a logistical nightmare trying to keep them apart and of course they all want to send messages," said Mrs Flores.
The team of psychologists charged with ensuring the mental welfare of the men below ground are attempting keep such developments from the miners.
"We read all the letters before they are sent down to make sure the miners do not experience any extra anxiety," said Alberto Iturra, head of the psychological team.
One of the trapped miners, Yonni Barrios Rojas, who is using his first aid training to treat medical problems underground is among those who faces difficult questions when he finally makes it the surface.
His wife, Marta Salinas, 56, discovered he had a mistress when she came across another woman holding a vigil for him. The other woman, Susana Valenzuela, said they met on a training course five years ago and he was planning to leave his wife for her.
"He is my husband. He loves me and I am his devoted wife," insisted Mrs Salinas. "This other woman has no legitimacy."

Experienced Australian Social Worker Travels to Chile and Wants to Help in the Recovery

Please help Kristen find a post in Chile while she travels there!

"To whom it may concern,

I am an Australian social worker currently travelling through Chile and I am wanting to enquire about whether there is any current volunteers required in the recovery after the earthquakes. I recently departed Melbourne, Australia, after completing a year working in post-disaster recovery with the families and individuals affected by the Victorian Bushfires that occured in February 2009. I am 24 years old and have had previous experience in the field of social work working with adolescents, Indigenous Australians and in adult homelessness. The main issue is that I do not speak Spanish as yet. I am willing to work in any jobs required (rebuilding, material aid etc), and do not need to be working in a direct social work capacity as I do not speak Spanish; I am willing to work for a few months if required."

Thank you for your time,

Kind Regards,
