A World Community

One thing that becoming involved in the internet community of scrap bookers has reinforced for me: The world is large geographically, but we are all so similar.... just people trying to live out lives the best we can. As I watch the devastation that has hit the small country of Haiti, I want to reach out to help in any small way.
Fifteen years ago, I designed the offices for the man who was a past president of the Seattle-based WORLD VISION, a relief organization that is many times a first responder to offer aid in times of disaster. They already in Haiti and are mobilizing a huge relief effort right now. The best way to help this effort is through donations. I KNOW this organization and they do an amazing job! Please go to their website www.worldvision.org to donate whatever you can to help our Haitian neighbors!

  1. Thank you Laura, for the tip. I've already given to the Red Cross and I'm going to Worldvision too. I life in Miami and we have a rich Haitian community and we're seeing a lot of news on our local channels. Of all the countries! (I's bad in any county but, OMG) Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemesphere. But I'm sure even $5.00 will help.
