Haiti Information

We have seen the massive destruction of this country. Why am I writing a blog about it. Well I have a friend who has been there helping a NGO for the past three years.

Janelle Clarke and I worked together at Lang Michener a while ago. Anyways, she left all of this exciting life to go work with a group called AMURT/AMURTEL, first with Katrina victims and then went to Haiti and has been there now for the past 3 years. I just got news that she is fine and if you go to this website you will see she is involved right there in the middle of all this tragedy. She is one of the people in the orange volunteer jacket with dreds.

This group, I know from her does a lot of good work there – they are not just there for now but have been there for a while help with schools, orphanages, helping women to be self-sufficient. There is more information on their website to see how they are helping that community.

AMURT Canada here is looking for donations and it’s a charity with their no. etc. so you can get a tax receipt for it. If you want to help please do so. Information is set out below:

I'm responding to your request on Friday. We finally received some photos of Janelle, they are posted on her Facebook page. If you wish to donate some money to aid her efforts here is the information.
