Help Out

As most everyone knows, the country of Haiti, already the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, suffered a major earthquake on January 12th.  The quake was so powerful that much of the country's buildings in the capital Port-au-Prince was reduced to rubble.  While many aid organization are sending assistance to the ravaged areas, most of us common-folk wonder how we can help.  There are many good aid organizations that are in need of donations for various forms of aid.

CNN posted a great list of aid organizations and how they are helping out.

One of my favorite aid organizations, Habitat For Humanity is also accepting donations as this country will soon be struggling to rebuild.

The Red Cross estimates that three million people are affected by the tragedy. It is in times like these that the fortunate really need to help those in need.
