If you don’t already know, Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere was hit with a 7.0 magnitude earthquake on January 12, 2010. Over 100,000 deaths have been claimed and more are on the way. CNN’s Anderson Cooper reports, ..”that up to 20,000 deaths a day are occurring to due infections and gangrene.” These deaths are known as, “stupid deaths.” More people will die due to the aftermath then the quake itself. The repercussion of this devastation will last for months if not years.
Haiti is in dire need of money for supplies such as antibiotics, first aid kits, clean water, food and shelter. There have been numerous organizations such as The Red Cross and Unicef reaching out to the world asking for your support.
For the past 20 years some of us here at Cliques Photo Booth have been annually donating charitable contributions to the IRC, or International Rescue Committee. “Founded in 1933, at the suggestion of Albert Einstein, the International Rescue Committee is a global leader in emergency relief, rehabilitation, protection of human rights, post-conflict development, resettlement services and advocacy for those uprooted or affected by conflict and oppression.”
“At the moment the IRC has deployed it’s Emergency Response Team out to Haiti to deliver help to the devastated city of Port-Au-Prince. Their team includes experts in emergency health, shelter, and children’s welfare. They will be working with local aid groups to provide vital help to survivors. the IRC has committed to raising $5 million for reconstruction work in Haiti over the next year.”
