With the disaster in Haiti foremost in people's minds,
we want to devote our blog today to asking
everyone to be generous in their donations.
To make a donation to help Haiti earthquake victims,
a number of relief efforts are underway.
1. Already viral on Facebook and social networking sites, the
Red Cross is getting the word out about its text-message
donation system. Text "HAITI" to the number 90999 to
donate $10, which will be added to your next cellphone bill.
2. Hospitals in Haiti are badly damaged and overwhelmed.
To help medical aid workers, donate to Doctors
Without Borders on its website.
3. International aid group CARE has already sent 133
staff members to Haiti, and it will be distributing food.
You can donate your Delta Air Lines SkyMiles to
transport CARE aid workers to Haiti or give money
for relief funds through its website.
4. You can donate to support Partners in Health's field
hospitals on its website.
5. World Vision heads to Haiti with 18 tons of supplies,
including blankets, tarps, containers and water.
Support World Vision by donating through its website.
6. The UNICEF representative in Haiti, Guido Cornale,
told the BBC that the Haitian earthquake is one of
the worst he's seen in his life. Donate via UNICEF's website.
7. Haitian-American rapper Wyclef Jean's foundation
to rebuild Haiti, Yéle, is also accepting text-message
donations. Text "Yele" to 501501 to donate $5, which
will be added to your next phone bill. You can also donate
via the Yéle Foundation's website.
8. International Relief and Development will supply water,
sanitation kits, medicines, hygiene kits, and
shelter materials. You can donate to IRD on its website.
9. Oxfam already has 200 volunteers stationed in Haiti.
They'll be providing clean water, shelter, and sanitation
through donations on Oxfam's website.
10. The Salvation Army is sending 285,120 boxed
meals of rice, soy, and vitamins to Haiti. Support the Salvation
Army through its website.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Haiti.
