OT: Haiti

[MasterCylinder]

I just heard on the radio that the Canadian Government has announced that they will match, dollar for dollar, donations to made to registered charitable groups for the Haitian disaster from Jan. 12 to Feb. 12, up to a maximum of $50 million.

Oh, Canada !

Very good.

Will the Iranians, Saudi, or North Koreans chip in ?

And what about that a-hole in Venezuela ?

No kiddin'.

Thanks for the reminder. I looked in my email inbox & MoveOn had a couple of suggestions for donors, I chose to send Oxfam what I could.

Good on you. They're a real good org.

I am only working part time now but I sent a $50 donation through AmeriCares and I hope my fellow members who are able to can do the same. I am sure donations will be needed for a long time.

Good for you John.

I already make an automatic monthly contribution from my credit card to The Red Cross. They do such an incredible job every single day. But I did bump it up this month with an additional donation to the Haiti fund.

Dude, probably. I mean he did offer us a ton of aid after Hurricane Katrina.

Thanks for the links, MidFi.

I don't know a ton about Haiti and its people, but I did pick up this from the library a few months ago:



Anyone else heard it?
