By now, the tragedy that struck Haiti on Tuesday has left many of us in the states concerned, perhaps even curious about opportunities to volunteer for relief efforts. We came upon this Facebook invite today:
“Tuesday’s 7.0-magnitude quake struck shortly before 5 p.m. local time on Tuesday, and was centered about 10 miles (15 kilometers) southwest of the capital Port-au-Prince Haiti, the US Geological Survey reported. The International Red Cross estimated that over three million people in the impoverished nation had been affected.
In the meantime, Plans are coming together for a trip of Matador volunteers to go to Haiti to assist in earthquake recovery and relief.
We will be conducting a Survival Kit Drive on Sunday, January 17, 2010 from 11am – 4pm at the Embassy of the Republic of Haiti located at 2311 Massachusetts Avenue, NW. In appreciation of your assistance light refreshments will be available.
