He was just on CNN tonite at the 6:00 PM EST news with Wolf Blizer. He said the Sec. of State is on her way back and cut her travel short so she can be more effective at the state dept. during this terrible event in Haiti. He said he remembered back in 1975 they spent their 2nd honeymoon there and remembered how this country need so much of our help. The people of Haiti are great people. They need our help so much he said. Go to Clintons website and if you want to donate to the Haiti for emergency help.
pcfs, Thank you. I heard him in the last hour on Greta on Fox News. Same message. I had to rewind to get that part about 2nd honeymoon. I did not know that piece before.
The earthquake in Haiti is the biggest they have seen since 1777. More than a million deaths is the current estimate.
Yes, CGI has fundraisng drive in progress. I posted the email I received (removing my name and email address from all spots of course) in Main room.
I also called CGI this afternoon and have offered to volunteer from home; they dont know what to do with someone who can volunteer from home.. well, I don't know either, but they have my info. There may be some local fundraising/getting the word out, whatever. They have asked me to formally apply via clintonfoundation.org - will do that. I also visited State.gov site to see if there are opportunities to volunteer.
Our local churches usually do various collections and drives. There may be such opportunities locally for all of you. Please do find out.
Haiti's situation is probably the worst humanitarian disaster that we will see in our lifetime on this side of the earth. I hope we can all open our hearts, wallets and closets for the people.
