Hands For Haiti

Hands For Haiti

The effect of the earthquake in Haiti has rippled through countless countries & ignited a storm of action from aid agencies, relief organizations, charities and everyday people like you and I who are scrambling to deliver much needed resources to the poorest country in the western hemisphere.

Hands For Haiti is not asking for donations. Hands For Haiti is not asking for clothes. Hands For Haiti is asking the world not to forget that Haiti has been for a long time in dire need of our love and attention. This earthquake has brought Haiti to the front pages but every day prior to this earthquake, the people of Haiti suffer with treatable diseases, struggle with poverty and spend their lives fighting to live.

Hands For Haiti is dedicated to bringing you updates about New York City’s on-going events that aid in the rebuilding of Haiti so that we, as New Yorkers, can contribute what we can. Please visit www.handsforhaiti.us for a short, but growing, list of events that are occurring in the New York City area. These events are aimed at raising aid and resources for the people of Haiti.

If you have an event or know of one, please leave the information below and it will be added to the listing.

Lend your Hands For Haiti.

    That’s a really nice post, Monica.
    It’s a pity that there’s nothing similar in the main European cities, or at least I’ve never heard about.
    I believe that gathering support through the participation to events is a very clever way to involve people and keep them aware in the long term.
    Cheers!

    Thanks Simon! In a few weeks, Haiti is going to vanish off the front page just like most major events. People forget too quickly but I hope there are others out there who will be a constant reminder to us all that there are plenty of people suffering around the world. Just because they’re not in the news, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

    My friend recently created it as a source for New Yorkers to find events to participate in for Haiti relief. There was so much going on and everyone was pitching in to do their part after the earthquake, he thought this would be a great way for people to stay up to date about these events.
