Greetings Do-gooders,

I sat and thought about a topic to share with all of you - at first, my inclination was to post something sort of silly.  But, the reason why I am here and you are reading is to be actively involved in helping the less fortunate among us.  That leads me to the topic for the day - Haiti.

This past November, my colleagues and I (chabha.org) had the good fortune of visiting one of the three Rwandan hospitals run by Partners in Health, a U.S.non-profit organization that works to deliver quality healthcare to the poor regardless of their ability to pay.  PIH works in Rwanda, but they began working in Haiti 20 years ago.  When the earthquake shook Haiti, I contacted a friend from PIH to offer a hand.

Given that I have no medical experience or technological expertise, my service to Haiti has come in the form of  raising awareness in my community.  I make phone calls to friends, send email updates and include Haiti in my conversations.  Have you donated to Haiti yet?  I’m not ashamed to ask.

I urge you to continue watching news reports, and continue staying informed - YOU can help.

Party with Heart has made a donation to PIH.org, and I have worked diligently to spread the word about relief efforts in Haiti.  Will you do something to help?  When you do, will let us know what you’ve done?  We’d love to share it.

Peace to Haiti and to you,

Beth
