At the invitation of president Obama, former presidents Clinton and Bush joined forces earlier this week to lead US citizen efforts to bring much-needed disaster relief to Haiti.
Here's what President Clinton said yesterday.
To lend a hand visit these sites:
The Clinton Foundation (a number of options linked at this site)
World Vision
Partners in Health

All of us should act today.
I'd love to hear stories from folks who've done something in response.

ReplyDeleteGood advice. Government = bureaucracy, corruption and less help for those in need. Hollywood telethons = too many administrative costs and hypocritical self-righteous phonies trying to make us feel guilty.
The best bet is a reputable faith-based organization that is already working in Haiti.
All of the links are to non-Govt non-profits.
