UPDATE ON

THE CRISIS IN HAITI

By making an effort to become aware of global issues like the earthquake in Haiti we have the opportunity not only to enrich our lives but the lives of individuals affected.

 

• The recent 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit just 10 miles west of the Haitian capital Porte-au-Prince.

• The major quake sent 33 aftershocks ranging in magnitude from 4.2 to 6.1• At this time an estimated 3 million people are in need of emergency aid.• Authorities fear the death toll may have killed between 100,000 and 200,000

people and displaced countless more.• In near by towns some 80-90% of buildings were destroyed by the earthquake.

Check with your CA to see how you can donate to help those in need during this tragic time.
