Help for Haiti
From BBC News:
“The 7.0-magnitude quake, Haiti’s worst in two centuries, struck south of Port-au-Prince, on Tuesday. Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive told US network CNN he believed more than 100,000 people had died. The Red Cross says up to three million people are affected.
The quake, which struck about 15km (10 miles) south-west of Port-au-Prince, was quickly followed by two aftershocks of 5.9 and 5.5 magnitude.The first tremor had hit at 1653 local time (2153 GMT) on Tuesday, the US Geological Survey said. Phone lines to the country failed shortly afterwards.”

My design client, Mor Aframian, executive director of non-profit Morlove, which provides aid to indigent and abandoned children in Uganda, identified Haiti as her newest campaign months ago. In light of the recent events, Morlove is accelerating its plans and has begun fund raising and is accepting donations of basic and medical items. Specific needs can be found here.
Although Morlove operates locally in Raleigh, North Carolina, there are others with international reach responding to this crisis. Please donate money, blood, supplies or your time to the following organizations:
American Red Cross
American Jewish World Service
American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee
Artists for Peace and Justice
CARE
Salvation Army
UNICEF
To help requires more than good will. Leverage your local church, synagogue or mosque. We are uniquely positioned to make a difference.
