Did you know that the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that hit Haiti Tuesday struck with the force of several nuclear bombs!! No wonder it almost completely destroyed its capital, Port-au-Prince... One third of the island nation's nine million inhabitants were affected by the quake... isn't that scary!
Unlike Bradgelina, who donated 1 million dollars to Haiti relief, many of us do not have much to give... However, if we all donate just 1$ -- the price of that chocolate bar you are craving -- we can help out the over 3 million people affected by this earthquake...
Plus, there are several ways you can donate -- so you get to pick what kind of help your money will provide. Here is a list:
Providing Basic Needs:
• Canadian Red Cross
• CARE
• World Vision
• UNICEF Canada
• International Relief Teams
• Save the Children
• Catholic Relief Services
• Samaritan's Purse
• Yéle Haiti
• World Concern
• Mercy Corps
• Operation Blessing International
• UN Central Emegergency Response Fund (CERF)
• Mercy & Sharing
Providing Shelter:
• Shelterbox
• Habitat for Humanity International
Providing Medical Aid:
• Direct Relief International
• International Medical Corps
• Medical Teams International
• Doctors Without Borders
• MAP International
• The International Committee of the Red Cross
• World Health Organization
• Project Medishare
Providing Food:
• World Food Programme
• The Salvation Army
• Compassion International
• Food for the Poor
I'm sure some of these are American, but at the same time, who cares! The money all goes to help out those affected! Come on, just pick one and donate!
