Haiti UPdate
I just got home from speaking at a local church (Bridges Community) about Haiti. They’ve responded by committing an initial 5,000 to go through our partners Childcare Worldwide towards immediate needs (food, water, shelter, basic medical supplies), and they’re looking at working with us on a long term project if we go in to scout it out.
If you’ve read this blog, you’ll probably recognize their name, as they’ve worked with us in the past in Tijuana.
I’m stoked. With the Canadian government’s matching donations, that’s $10,000.
Stay tuned…
Haiti
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Haiti. About 15 years ago, I did relief work in what is now the epicenter of the earthquake. Please pray, please give – we recommend giving to agencies like MSF (Doctors Without Borders) who are skilled in disaster relief, and who are already working on the ground ( http://www.msf.ca ).
“Now more than ever, it is time for us to show our solidarity with the most vulnerable people in the Americas, our brothers and sisters in Haiti, whose courage is once again being so harshly tested.” – Canadian Governor General Michaelle Jean –
