This is a very informative post on how money gets to Haiti - please read before donating: http://www.riovoyeur.com/donating-to-haiti/ Please also take note at the end of the post about being giving not only in times of disaster, but all year round ... though we all struggle we are more fortunate than someone else in the world and even if it is a little bit, we can give to make our world a better place ... giving is also not always money - it could be something that you do not need anything, or your time, or your know-how, or just a simple kind word ... The link at the end of the post is also great for helping you figure out which causes you want to support. There is a registry that allows you to organize the issues and grassroots projects related to those issues that are most important to you and even if you go back and visit your registry a few times a year, it will help to keep in mind what is most important to you. I would suggest putting your geographical location in the search to see what projects are happening right in your back yard! Thanks for reading my two cents!
