Haiti Earthquake Relief - Responding to the Disaster
JRF is encouraging our member communities and people everywhere to respond to the humanitarian crisis in Haiti due to the recent disasterous earthquake there. To expidite donations we are not setting up a separate donation fund, rather encouraging donations to our partner organizations who work directly on the ground in relief efforts.
With a per capita income of $3.60 per day, Haiti is the most impoverished country in the Western Hemisphere. Thus, its population is especially vulnerable to natural disasters, such as the recent earthquake. Based on initial reports of widespread devastation and a high number of casualties, relief agencies anticipate that the immediate and long-term needs will be profound. Our prayers and our concrete actions are directed at this time to the many people in Haiti, both Haitian citizens and the many international visitors, aid workers and support people who have lost their lives and those who have lost loved ones. We also pray for the healing of those injured by the earthquake.
Prayers for the People of Haiti: http://jrf.org/Prayers-for-Haiti
Donations to AJWS's "Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund," which can be made at www.ajws.org/haitiearthquake, will enable AJWS's network of grantees in Haiti to meet the urgent needs of the population based on real-time, on-the-ground assessments.
The Jewish Federations of North America is partnering with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) to provide aid and relief to victims http://www.jewishfederations.org/page.aspx?id=213133.
The Jewish Coalition for Disaster Relief, of which JRF is an executive committee member participating in decisions on relief funding, is also responding long-term: http://www.jdc.org/jcdr_about.html.
MAZON, an external affiliate with JRF, is also responding to the situation, http://mazon.org/2010/01/13/mazon-launches-emergency-haiti-fund/

Still an issue
The Clinton-Bush Haiti fund is the one to go with. They sent me another message a week ago (they do so rarely), kindly reminding me that, while the media has dampened the coverage blaze we witnessed initially, there is still poverty and up to 75% of people are still waiting on TENTS to sleep in. Help out if you can.
This is a really good read
This is a really good read for me. I agree with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your incoming updates. Just saying thanks will not just be enough, for the phenomenal clarity in your writing.

Read about different types of insurance policies and which types of life insurance policies you need. If you have a car then you need third party insurance.

I agree with you. It's good to see that Haiti is making a lot better strides than expected. Regardless of faith, it was amazing the efforts that came together to help this great nation in a time of need. Regards.

Hello, everyone!
This is a good,common sense article.Very helpful to one who is just finding the resouces about this part.It will certainly help educate me.
They still need our help
This was one of the worst disasters in modern memory but now it seems, with these disasters becoming more prevalent, people are less willing to give. Just look at what is happening in Pakistan. The amount of aid so far has been pitiful. I hope people start to give more and help out. James Thyroid Treatment

The earthquake in Haiti had been devastating, it made me realize how powerless are we when facing the forces of nature. I am beginning to think that i should include earthquake coverage on my home insurance quote, if something like this happens to me i would be completely uncovered.

Just like with anything else, it's a few months later and nobody is talking about this. All it took for the world to pu Haiti behind them was an oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico.

This is important
Taking care of people that are suffering is the job of the world especially the richer nations that can afford to help. I think this is our obligation.

I think this is really sad that this many people are suffering in Haiti. These people are starving and really going through a lot of pain. Over 250,00 people have died there after the earthquake. We should help.
