they were overpopulated, with homelessness, lack of job creation BEFORE.
just recovering from tragic flooding in 2008.

Yes, Haiti needs your help now, but it doesn’t stop there, and it didn’t start here. Haiti needs human touch. in this virtual world, we are connected to tragedy by our sight, but our hands remain clean. there are others who are able to go there, to offer relief, as others may not be able or willing. i encourage you to support those whose hands have touched more than a keyboard in this crisis, and whose eyes have seen firsthand the tragedy we browse. a dollar goes a long way in a developing country. give what you can, whether it is fervent prayer or financial aid. be sure your donations are to organizations who actually know the needs of the country and have Haiti’s best interest at heart. I can assure you this one does.
in the past 2 years I have consulted on projects in Haiti along with two dear friends and mentors – one of which is Haitian. they have spearheaded an organization (prior to, and now responsive to the tragic earthquake) called Powered by Action.
Powered by Action and the Carma Foundation have united to establish the Action Haïti – Earthquake Relief Campaign. This campaign has one simple goal – to get the necessary first aid/medical supplies, water, food and clothing to those impacted in Haïti. To support this effort by acting now you can make a donation to the Earthquake Relief Campaign. Your contribution will go DIRECTLY to funding the procurement, transport and delivery of materials to Haïti.
Powered by Action and the Carma Foundation will keep you informed of the efforts of the Earthquake Relief Campaign. As a registered member of Powered by Action, you will also be able to view the campaign donations and utilization of funds via the Powered by Action website.
go to www.poweredbyaction.org and click on the Action Haïti: Earthquake Relief Campaign link.

the teachers? maxed out – using their own resources to constantly make up for what the kids lack – any relief is helpful.
the kids? need encouragement, snacks, educational supplies, and anything else you can give.

over the past year, i’ve been privileged to take photos at a parade of homes design home, which won the award for the best use of concrete, and another home in which a mantel was created by the same builder. and yes, that builder is my brother… i am amazed at the creativity and the end product – he also has created several counter-tops w/ the same material. here’s some concrete evidence…
