Haiti - A Personal Plea for Help....... Haitian Relief Alternative

[Guest guest]

Thanks for giving this crisis a voice, of some kind, on his forum. The

purpose of yoga is to create and be in such a place of balance, and

dare I say perfection, in our personal needs, that we can sacrifice and

be of service to others.

I was just reading another yoga teacher's words on the situation.

Anna speaks of "Doctors without Borders" as being another good place to

put one's trust. Also, if anyone has an American Express, use it! as

they are waving the 3% that credit card companies always charge. The

others may follow suit.

Dear

Friends and Colleagues,

This

is my personal plea asking you to help Haiti.

As you may know, for almost four years I spent a tremendous amount of

time in Haiti

developing a number of projects that we were trying to get off the

ground with

both the government and private sector.

I fell in love with the country and its people, who have

an

amazing spirit. Like so many others, we have a lot of friends/family we can’t find.

On

a good day, Port-au-Prince is

ill-equipped to function

properly, so what’s

happened is beyond comprehension. Haitians are the strongest, most

patriotic, united people I’ve ever met, so I believe they will come

through

this, but the loss and suffering is too painful to imagine. I just

heard from

someone that returned from Haiti today that what we’re seeing and

hearing

doesn’t scratch the surface for what’s going on.

There

are many ways to donate through legitimate major

organizations like the Red Cross, World

Food Program, Doctors Without Borders, Food for the Poor, etc.

People

often want to donate to smaller organizations but don’t know which

are the

right ones. Needless to say anywhere you make a donation will help, but

I’ve chosen to donate to the Lambi Fund, an organization that

I’ve

worked with, that’s on the ground in Haiti doing fantastic work, and

that I

totally trust. Lambi Fund is not a first responder, but

a second

responder which means

that they’ll be there

long after the relief service providers leave, working to rebuild

Haiti. Their

first step will be to help members of peasant groups get food and

essentials

for their families to re-establish their lives. Please visit www.lambifund.org

for more information or to make a donation.

Remember

to be grateful for everything we take for granted.

PLEASE

PASS THIS ALONG TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AND DONATE TODAY.

Thanking

you in advance for your support and prayers.

With love,

 

Susan

I believe Gosikh.com is donating 100% of their proceeds from sales to Red Cross

at this time. That means.. You buy a $15 turban material, all $15 dollars goes

to Red Cross.

-- As quoted via email --

 

" For some reason, I am preoccupied with the earthquake in Haiti. I have no

relations with the country of Haiti, don't know anyone from that country and yet

I feel like doing everything I can to help.

 

I could not think of anything better than this. If you need a Turban or were

planning to buy one in the near future, please buy in the next day or two. If

you buy a Turban for $15 + shipping, I will donate the $15 (100%) to relief

organizations helping Haitians. So far, I have donated to Mercyships and Red

Cross.

 

If you were planning to buy a Turban in either case, or anything else on the

site, please do shop and [i will] send all the proceeds to the relief fund.

Please also add a small prayer for those that were impacted in Haiti and for all

around the world that continue to suffer. "
