Support for Haiti/On se mobilise pour soutenir Haïti

I’m sure you’re aware well aware of the recent news of the earthquake in Haiti. Aid workers are currently being stretched to their limits and it’s evident that they are in dire need of resources.

Having lived in the Caribbean and with close friends from Haiti, I know only too well how much devastation an earthquake of this size can cause to an island such as Haiti.

If you like me have been wondering what you can do to help. Leave a comment on my blog with a message of support for Haitians and Haiti and I will donate £1 (sterling)for every comment left, to the Haiti relief effort (I’ll update you once this has been done). Thanks in advance

EDIT: The closing date has arrived for this post, so I’d like to sincerely thank you all for all your comments and messages (17 in total :)), I originally said I’d donate £1 for every comment but I’ve since decided to stick a zero on the end to make it £10, hopefully making the donation more effective in the current situation.

I chose the Yele Haiti Earthquake fund to donate  the £170/$272 dollars to and will copy some info from their site so you know what they’re all about.

We thank you and gratefully acknowledge your generous contribution to Yele Haiti. Yele Haiti is a movement led by Wyclef Jean that is helping to bring hope back to Haiti. Projects are designed to make a difference in the fields of education, health, environment and community development.

Sincerely, The Yele Haiti Team

Thanks everyone! 🙂

Je suis sûre que vous êtes tous au courant du séisme récent en Haiti. Les efforts humanitaires ont des moyens limités et c’est évident qu’ils sont en manque cruel d’approvisionnement en produits de base.

Ayant déjà vécu aux Antilles Françaises. Je sais très bien comment un tel séisme peut ravager une île comme Haïti.
