7.0 Quake Rocks Haitian Capital

Tens of Thousand Affected

The Haitian Alliance Calls you to Action

ATLANTA, GEORGIA – January 13, 2010 – Our resilient and courageous people have once again been hit by a major natural disaster.  Around 5 p.m., on Tuesday, January 12, 2010, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Preliminary reports paint a grim picture.  Now, more than ever, Haiti, and the Haitian People need you.

The Haitian Alliance shares the sorrow and the grief of the living and wounded who are mourning our dead. Working with Haitian Community Leaders, Caribbean and Georgia Community Leaders around the Metro Atlanta area, The Haitian Alliance is coordinating a campaign to make a difference. We’re calling on you to join us in making a real difference for Haiti.

Our goal is to collect, ship, and distribute that which will make a difference.

For the short run, we need your help with:

- drinking water
- medicine
- non-perishable food rations
- temporary shelter (i.e., tents, blankets, cots, etc.)
- the means to ship what is collected to Haiti immediately

We will publish a list of collection centers on Thursday, January 14, 2010.

For the long run, we need your help to raise the funds needed for a massive investment in reconstruction. Please click below to give life to the thousands affected.

Visit us often at http://www.transformhaiti.org for daily updates on the relief and recovery effort, and to find out how you can make a difference.

On behalf of Haiti and the Haitian People, we thank you for your partnership.

The Haitian Alliance, Inc. is a registered 501 (c) (3) organization whose purpose is to transform Haiti. Our mission is to empower the Haitian community to act as one, to make Haiti Green and Literate by 2030.
