The situation in Haiti remains dire. CARE staff on the ground in Haiti say the extent of the damage to homes and infrastructure is reminiscent of the damage caused by the 2004 tsunami in Asia.

My colleagues have begun to distribute meals, tablets to purify water, sanitation items, plastic sheeting, cooking kits, and safe child delivery kits. While the logistics in this type of situation can be difficult, we are coordinating efforts with other agencies to make sure we don’t duplicate areas and we reach everyone in need.

If you did not have the chance to donate at yesterday's hash it is still not too late.  On information on how to donate $$ directly to CARE go to www.care.org

Another way to help is by donating your skymiles.  Delta Air Lines, a long time CARE partner, is providing transportation support for Atlanta-based CARE staff into Haiti to support our Haiti Country Office team on the ground with emergency relief.  For information on this please go to www.care.org

Thanks hashers, you are a great group of generous half-minds.
