HAITI EARTHQUAKE RELIEF INITIATIVE
Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world. Let's help assist our brothers and sisters there today. There are many wonderful charities to donate to. The Wayuu Taya Foundation was created and is run by a personal friend of mine. I can vouch for her and the promise that 100% of your donation will go directly to Haiti as they deal with this terrible tragedy.
Please consider sending any amount possible today. And include the people of Haiti in your prayers tonight.
Wayuu Taya Foundation
www.wayuutaya.org
The Wayúu Tayá Foundation is a nonprofit organization created in 2002 to help improve the lives of Latin-American indigenous people while maintaining and respecting their traditions, culture and beliefs.

Relief for Haiti
by katherine fugate on Thu Jan 14, 2010 9:33 am
If you have any dollars to spare, please consider donating to those suffering in Haiti. 100,000 feared dead is an incomprehensible number.
my friend patricia velasquez's foundation, Wayuu Tayaa, is on my links page because i've personally seen them in action and can vouch for them.
www.wayuutaya.org
minutes after the event happened, patricia put aside her work life (she's a model/actress and a mother of a 3 year old) and has been facilitating a way to get direct aid to Haiti through her Foundatin. aid that won't get filtered elsewhere or delayed by red tape, as can happen with big charities.
my friend marti noxon, a writer, can also vouch for this organization: Americares. here is her message:
My husband and I know the people behind this organization very well and if you want to help provide quick and efficient medical relief to the people of Haiti, you can be assured that AMERICARES will provide when others can not.
www.americares.org
AmeriCares gives disaster relief and humanitarian medical aid to people in crisis in the USA and around the world. Please donate to help us save lives. This Christmas Holiday, honor your loved one with an eCard from AmeriCares!
additionally, you may also have heard of the texting system, conceived after the success of voting for American Idol. donations are added to your cellphone bill.
1) hip hop star Wyclef Jean's Yéle Haiti charity where you can text YELE to 501501 to give $5 to help with earthquake relief efforts.
2) The US State Department seems to favor the Red Cross, where you can text "HAITI" to "90999" to donate $10 to the Red Cross.
3) In Canada, people can donate $5 to the Salvation Army by texting "Haiti" to 45678 through a system set up by the Mobile Giving Foundation.
so whichever your avenue, please take a moment to choose one and give from the heart today!

Haiti Earthquake Relief - What You Can Do
On January 12, 2010, at 4:53pm local time, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, approximately 10 miles from Port-au-Prince. Tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people are feared dead, as the capital city has been devastated. You can help. Make a donation to one of these incredible and long-standing organizations in Haiti. They have distributed staff in country now, but most importantly, they are well positioned to aid in the long-term recovery effort.

Patricia Velasquez, my friend and President of the Wayuu Taya Foundation has created a brilliant way to show solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Haiti and to build an new orphanage and school there, as her foundation already does in Venezuela.
Patricia has commissioned a jeweler to create a specially designed "H" charm as a necklace or bracelet to represent Help, Hope and Haiti. All you have to do is wear an "H" - you'll look hip and give hope and help to a great cause. Please see the link above to be part of the solution!
