Topic: Haiti quake relief - Wyclef Jean

For those interested in donations to the Haiti Earthquake relief effort, I encourage you check out Wyclef Jean'c charitable organization Yéle Haiti. 100% of donations to this charity will go towards earthquake relief as opposed to some organizations that are top heavy with overhead. Linkage:

Re: Haiti quake relief - Wyclef Jean

Good Suggestion Top,

  Personally I have problems with tossing cubic dollars towards disaster relief, as so much is miss-spent and never gets to those that could most benefit.  But I do support our own Northwest Medical Teams which operate through Mercy Corps International.  Those folks go everywhere and take all their own supplies and staff via chartered transport anywhere their services can be useful.  As I'm writing this, they have medical staff on the ground in Port Au Prince and more on the way. 

  Our collective hearts go out to those sorely in need during these first critical days, and prayers for those who have been lost.

Help if you can,
and Take Care;
Doug
