Just incase you did not hear about it. There was a 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti on Jan 12th 2010. Needless to say that it has devastated the capital of Haiti and there are thousands of people in need of help, and supplies.
Sadly, we have to deal with a maladaptive human condition apparent in some. The condition that I speak of, is scamming. Please please please use caution when donating to various organizations in the name of Haiti. There is reputable information about helping victims on the White House Website:
The White House.gov Haiti Relief Page
The most popular way of giving aid has been through the use of cell phones.
Donate $10 to the
Red Cross to be charged to your cell phone bill by texting "HAITI" to "90999."
Donate $5 to
Wyclef Jean's Yele Haiti orgranization to be also charged to your cell phone bill by texting "Yele" to 501501
Use any of the reputable resources above to help find more information on helping the relief effort in Haiti.
