Samuel Dixon, Executive Director of UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) died in the earthquake in Haiti. Two other board members were trapped 55 hours in a collapsed hotel. UMCOR has resolved that 100% of donations to Haiti will go to the cause- no administrative costs will be taken out.
Our church is joining in the aide to Haiti. I can't imagine what these people are enduring.
ReplyDeleteI had to turn the news today. They had video of dump trucks bringing bodies to put in mass graves- by the truckload. It was awful. My son is National Guard and they're on 48 hour stand-by to be sent over there.
ReplyDeleteI can't watch the news about this. It's just so gruesome. I'm sorry to hear about the Exec. Dir. though. Thanks for posting the link.
ReplyDeleteI've had several people ask if I knew a good relief charity to make a donation to so I thought I'd post this. If you want to give to the Haiti relief efforts, this is one iof the best. Their network is already established there- they had people on the ground before this happened. There were two teams from Charlotte there when the earthquake hit, too. They made it home safely.
ReplyDeleteRon and I will give a donation thanks for that I saw it on tv too.
ReplyDeleteIt wont be a big one but its all adding up!
