Haiti

This week marked the one year anniversary of the horrific earthquake in Haiti. During the past year, millions of people stepped forward to donate, build, pray, and do whatever else they could to help this broken nation.

I want to take the anniversary of this tragedy to demonstrate, through charity:water's efforts in Haiti, what you are capable of doing by opening your heart up to people in need.

Here is the video that charity:water created at the beginning of their Unshaken campaign for Haiti in March 2010:

Nine months later:
More than 1 million dollars has been raised
10 wells have been built
More than 30,000 people now have access to clean water

All of this was accomplished by people like you!

In a previous post, I wrote about the value your money has. As the above campaign proves, your money has the power to give hope and strength to struggling people. You can build wells. You can bring life. All it takes is you opening up your heart.

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
