Haiti has come onto the world stage with the terrible earthquake, and thankfully our fantastic communications enable us to not only find out very fast, but do something as I suspect we feel helpless. Sitting here in Turks and Caicos, we felt a rumble, only slight, but enough to recognize that something was afoot.
Many activities swung into action. The Salvation Army opened up and account, opened up an internet access point and drop off point, started collecting immediately at the local large grocery store. The Red Cross organised fund raising events and opened up and internet access point. The airport became a stopping point for many plane, and volunteers provided comfort for tired crews. The Fire Service Volunteers got organized and went to help dig out.

We are only 150 miles or so from Haiti, and we felt helpless. Many Haitian workers here received terrible news.
Our friend, who has business and family in Haiti recieve personal good news, but others are not so fortunate. Here is a direct link to a local community hospital.
On and on went the news.
We will run our links on our website until.......
