Generalmente, una noticia grande concita atención du- rante un cierto tiempo y después el interés se desvanece. Pero Ucrania sigue siendo noticia y no es la única crisis de larga duración que acaparó titulares. La crisis del ébola, por ejemplo, comenzó en diciembre del año pasado en Guinea. Hacia marzo, la Organización Mundial de la Salud seguía de cerca el brote y buscaba formas de contenerlo. Un año después la epidemia no ha sido controlada y ya a matado a por lo menos 6.000 personas. Casi todas las víctimas fatales son de tres países de Africa occidental. Pero cuando un liberiano falleció en Dallas y luego se registraron algunos otros casos en Estados Unidos, cundió el pánico y la preocupación de que el sistema sanitario mundial no está preparado para hacer frente a este brote. Al finalizar el año, la OMS cuestionó los informes de progresos en la lucha contra el mal. La desaparición del avión de la aerolínea malaya resultó un gran misterio. Se perdió todo contacto con el aparato poco después de despagar en la madrugada del 8 de marzo. En su búsqueda participaron aviones, barcos e investigadores de 26 países y se usaron aparatos de alta tecnología. Pero sigue sin encontrarse rastros del aparato.

Orphanage fundraiser Jan. 6 By Federico Martínez, Special Contributor to La Prensa A stunning oil painting of the Lady of Guadalupe— valued at $8,000—is being raffled off to raise money to help orphaned children in Mexico. Toledo visual artist Alberto Marin created the painting using technical oil and fine gold. The painting measures 35 inches in width and 64 inches long. “All of the money raised will benefit a children’s orphan- age in Guanajuato, Mexico,” said Mr. Marin, who previously lived in Phoenix, Arizona. In previous years Mr. Marin has used his talent to help raise money for various charitable causes. “It’s all part of a ministry of helping those in need,” he said. Raffle tickets are being sold 3 for $5. A draw will be made on January 6, 2015 at the church of Saints Peter and Saint Paul in Toledo. To purchase tickets please contact Mr. Marin at (419) 206-3465.
