Us for Haiti

We all know what happened to Haiti on January 12,2010. It was a disaster of all measures and perspectives. On January 12, 2010 I led you to the correct way to help Haitians, when I posted this article. I told you the various ways you can donate. Even if you didn’t have the money, there was a way to donate through socialvibe.com for free.

You have donated over 60 million dollars to Haiti by simply texting and doing activities on socialvibe. Don’t you feel proud?

Do you want to know what the Unicef did with the money?

They had delivered more than 6 million meals to people in the capital and outlying areas isolated by the earthquake.

They had launched an immunization campaign in partnership with the Haitian government and the world health organization and they will vaccinate 500,000 children from measles, diphtheria, rubella and whooping cough.

They distributed clean water to 800,000 people daily

And of course they are providing shelter and food for Haitians

But we still need more money to provide Haitians what they need after the huge losses they had suffered.

Please continue on with your generous donations.

Now I shall leave you with an amazing video

Haiti in NEED!

Hi, everyone

This is a quick post.

I am asking every and each one of you to donate money for Haiti, please. We all heard the disaster that hit Haiti last Tuesday.  It was a 7.0 magnitude earthquake that lasted for ten minutes. Now you might think that’s not long time but it was. The houses were destroyed after seconds. People now in Haiti need food, clean water and shelter.

That’s when you interfere.

There are many ways to donate:

1. Text FRIENDS to 90999 and give $5 to the World Food Programme  in Haiti
2. https://www.wfp.org/donate/haiti
3. http://www.socialvibe.com/musicforrelief
   

The first 2 ways were tweeted by the World Food Programme (fight hunger), so they are very trusted websites. And let me tell you that the World Food Programme people are working extremely hard to rescue people in Haiti. And of course they need our help. So I encourage you to text on your mobile or donate with your credit card or (if you don’t have the money) go to social vibe.

Now I am not sure if the text works internationally. I sent the World Food Programme  a message asking them, so come back for an update.

Don’t forget to actually leave a comment to tell me which way you are donating.

Thank you.

1-UPDATE: I just received a reply from "fight hunger" on twitter,telling me that the text only work if you live in USA.
2-UPDATE: If you are residents of Canada and the Netherlands, you will receive a tax deduction for your donation to WFP using the online form. This is the form -->"https://www.wfp.org/donate/haiti"

Blog it: Food crisis + financial crisis

"The food price crisis, dubbed a "silent tsunami" for the world’s poor, is far from over. A recent study revealed that food prices are higher than they were 12 months ago in 46 developing countries. In nine of the countries, food prices are the highest on record.

The current economic crisis, first felt in developed nations, is now impacting on developing nations too. People living in these regions have much less to cushion the blow of an economic downturn and hunger is on the increase.

The combination of high food prices and the economic downturn has the makings of a humanitarian.
In the Horn of Africa, where climate change is aggravating the situation, the effects of the two crises are especially harsh. And as the global economic and financial crises compound the food crisis, hunger and malnutrition are likely to increase further."

These facts are according to World Food Programme website.
