As most people know, Haiti was hit by an earthquake which completely devastated the country. People are struggling to live, over 50,000 people died and the country is basically in ruins. Now is the time where people of all cultures should come together to help those in need. I received an email asking for my donation from former Vice President Al Gore’s non-profit organization, Repower America, so I figure I would recommend donating through Oxfam America too. Here is what they have to say about the situation and about donating:
“A major earthquake has struck Haiti’s capital city of Port-Au-Prince. It is a catastrophe of major proportions. Multiple buildings have collapsed, including a hospital, a hotel, and the UN building.
Oxfam has over three decades of experience in Haiti, and we have rushed in teams from around the region to respond to the situation where our assistance is most needed. We are providing clean water, shelter and sanitation and helping people recover – your donation will go immediately to the most critical needs in Haiti, and we will ensure that every penny is used wisely.”
