 Help Robinson Crusoe Island In 2006, Gillian Bolsover, one of our MSc Global Media & Communications students, was involved in a documentary project on the remote Chilean island of Robinson Crusoe. Gillian and the rest of the Chasing Crusoe Team created a website, www.rcrusoe.org, about the life and history of the island.
In the days following the earthquake that shook the Chilean mainland, the team learnt that a giant tsunami had hit Robinson Crusoe Island, covering nearly two miles of the island and reaching 300 metres up from the natural coastline. When the ocean retreated, it took with it nearly all of San Juan Bautista, the coastal settlement that the island’s 650 residents call home.
The Chasing Crusoe Team are now trying to raise funds to help the islanders rebuild their lives. To donate money, visit www.rcrusoe.org/
