Let's Give Some Hope

[gwaevalarin]

Random Acts have a new project: Hope to Haiti.

In June 2011, the Random Acts team, Misha Collins and Matt Cohen will go to Jacmel, Haiti, to build a community centre. And they are looking for people to join them.

What can you do?

You can spread the word. The Twitter hashtag is #Hope2Haiti

You can join the team and try to raise $5,000, and then maybe go to Haiti to help there. I'm sure it's going to be an amazing experience.

And last but definitely not least, you can donate. I'd appreciate if you use my Crowdrise fundraiser page to do so, but the important part is that you give what you can, preferably through the account of someone you believe should join Random Acts to Haiti.


Hint: It's my birthday this month, so in case you're looking for the prefect present, you know what to do. ;)

The US State Department is advising all citizens to avoid travel to Haiti.

An excerpt:

"U.S. citizens wishing to assist in Haiti relief efforts should be aware that – in addition to the aforementioned safety and health risks, and despite good intentions – their travel to Haiti will increase the burden on a system already struggling to support those in need. Cash donations are the most effective way to help the relief effort in Haiti, support the country’s local economy, and ensure the assistance is both culturally and environmentally appropriate."

I thought I uncreen this, just FYI.
