Haiti

Our St. Andrew's Society is planning to hold an auction to raise funds for a local organization, Convoy of Hope, in their efforts to bring much-needed supplies to Haiti. We are currently looking for a donation of a desirable item or two to auction off on this Saturday night.

I have two close friends in Haiti. One runs an elementary school serving 400 children, many of whom haven't the funds to pay regularly. He is fine apparently, but the school partially collapsed. The other started a solar salt evaporation enterprise with a village near the sea - the only salt produced in Haiti. He was in the Dominican Republic buying supplies when the earth quaked. http://www.amurt.net/

Here's a link to an organization that I've been involved with for 25 years or so.
http://www.missionhaiti.org/
Every dollar given goes to aid the people of Haiti (there are no paid employees) and you can designate that you want your contribution to go to earthquake relief.
The webmaster of this site was in Haiti before the 'quake hit, and was able to help coordinate some of the supplies already there before he came back home yesterday.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about the organization.
