In response to the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti this week, students are organizing a fundraising campaign beginning tomorrow in Reamer Campus Center.
“The poorest country in our hemisphere experienced an earthquake of 7 degrees on the Richter scale. It destroyed the Parliament, Presidential House, hospitals and schools, killing about 100,000 people and leaving Haiti’s already vulnerable infrastructure completely ruined,” noted Darcia Datshkovsky ’10.
Union community members will be able to donate to the American Red Cross’s international relief efforts.
“Also, you can text ‘HAITI’ to 90999 to donate $10 to American Red Cross relief for Haiti, or donate $5 by texting YELE to 501501, Wyclef Jean's nonprofit, yele.org,” Datshkovsky noted. The charge will appear on the next month's mobile phone bill.
