"We are working hard to get the right supplies down there and this is not easy, emotionally or at work. Right now I am trying to find where to buy 30,000 human remain bags and how to ship them to Port Au Prince and off load them in the port. Send money to Haiti and sleep to me." - StartingBloc NY 2010 Fellow working for the United Nations

There are many StartingBloc Fellows and friends in our community with loved ones in Haiti. A handful of Fellows are doing work on the ground, as well. It's times like this that make us realize: When devastation hits others, we are all affected. Action is imperative, so more innocent lives are not lost.

So how can we help?

Champion Haiti by rallying together to send positive energy and $$$ to relief efforts!

Champion Haiti
Saturday, January 16 :: 4-7pm
163 Attorney St :: New York, NY

Drinks and snacks will be served. All donations collected at Saturday's event will go to Partners in Health. We will collect cash donations and write a collective check from StartingBloc following the event. There will also be computers set up for online donating.

If you cannot make the event, you can:

1. Donate directly online to Partners in Health
2. Double your impact with other orgs by donating though Razoo's matching website
3. Find survivor info & more at the Clinton Foundation website
4. Text “HAITI” to “90999” to make a $10 donation to Red Cross (though, it takes up to 90 days to get $ to orgs = not optimal)
5. Follow the "Do's and Don't of Helping Haiti"

Thank you and we hope to see you tomorrow!

The StartingBloc Team
