Jeff Pelton
Jeff Pelton lives with his wife and children on Vancouver Island.
In 2010, Jeff was spending time in Santiago, Chile, when an 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck early in the morning, followed by many aftershocks in the days and weeks that followed. He was struck by how people came together in that time and helped each other to recover. Jeff hopes that this story can help children and parents to focus on what is within their control, have a plan, and practice what to do from time to time.
