Doctors without borders (Medicins Sans Frontieres) is an excellent Canadian relief organization to which you can donate for the victims of the Haiti Eathquake. A Nelson Doctor who works for this organization is in Haiti now helping with the efforts.
To make a donation click on this website. It is legit. I will personally be donating here as well as taking up a collection for this cause, as the devestation is incredible for a country already stricken by 4 Hurricanes in the past year, not to mention that 50% of the population is under the age of 18 years old.
An associate , Jim Reimer is in Haiti now with school children from Mount Sentinal school, waiting for the school kids to be evacuated. Jim, well known attendant of the Nelson Parkade, known as Father Jim, will stay to help with aid as he can help. Although this tragedy is happening in a country far away, many people from this area are there right now for various reasons and can be facilitators of the donations made by every day Canadians. The government of Canada will match donations ( as suggested by the opposition, Ignatiaf) up to 50 million dollars in humanitarian aid to Haiti , made to any registered Canadian organization that provides aid to Haiti. I uge everyone to donate something and be filled with hope and prayers for those children and people waiting for any suggestion of help. Aid is pouring it, but will it be fast enough to help those that are trapped and dying of thirst before they die of their injuries?
