Why Haiti ?

Along with thousands of Haitians worldwide, I watch eagerly to hear about family and friends. We have all 17 of our family members, spread over 7 households are accounted for. My godfather did not survive ! Seems that most of the homes are particially or completely destroyed.

What can you do today :

• Pray for Haitians - family desperate to hear about others, those pulling brick by brick to free loved ones, those buried knowing the the international relief will be too little and too late.
• Pray that people don't abondone a God who let this happen, but pray to this God as he is by their side.
• Prayer that pedges of support materialize. Many politicians and leaders pledge, but then dont deliver
• Prayer that Haiti does not disappear after the media hype - people will still be with out water, shelter, food, clothes, medical attention for weeks and months ! I literally mean months.
• If you feel you can help, start raising money and then choose your charity / channel carefully. Beware of scams. Use people with teams on the ground pre-earthquake. Try www.dec.org.uk (all NGO's raise money together and then apply for the funds) or direct with organizations like www.tearfund.org
