The devastation in Haiti has touched people around the world and once again, brought together all types of groups and organizations to help their fellow man. As someone who has first-hand experience bringing disaster relief to those in need and raising money to provide ongoing support, the intense fundraising efforts and overwhelming need for relief are incredibly personal.
As Savvy readers, you too, are involved in efforts, whether directly or indirectly, to help people in need—every day. I hope you will find your own way to support the relief efforts in Haiti during the coming days, weeks, and months. I will continue to add ‘Haiti Relief’ links for reputable organizations, to my blog for reference today and in the future.
Please visit the American Red Cross and the ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross) to learn more about their international relief efforts and Yele Haiti to learn how you can help organizations that are bringing lifesaving aid to the country. Both organizations are doing a phenomenal job of building collaborative partnerships and getting immediate help to the Haitian people.
