Haiti Hurricane Update

We’ve been collecting money for Haiti hurricane victims for several weeks now, and although we haven’t received quite the response that I had hoped for, we did raise $45. Since this isn’t really enough to make a dent in providing clean water, we’ve decided to donate the entire amount that we raised, plus our matching funds, to Yéle Haiti, the aid organization founded by musician Wyclef Jean. The money will be donated to their Haiti Storm Relief Fund.

Check out the powerful videos on the homepage of www.yele.org. I also have some pictures of the aftermath .

“I’ve seen extreme poverty before, but I’ve never seen it coupled with a natural disaster.” – Matt Damon, speaking on the video on Yéle Haiti.

Those of you who know me know that I share a special connection with Haiti. My parents were missionaries there, and I spent many years there growing up.
