Description
The Justice Mission/Our Lady of Guadalupe Anglican Mission and other organizations and volunteers are working on a campaign of humanitarian aid effort for Haitian earthquake victims. As of Thursday Jan 14th 2010 the campaign was launched. One more time we have come together to bring aid to the most needed ones. Recently, in November 2009 we accomplished the Humanitarian Aid for El Salvador with all of your help, and now one more time we ask for your help to bring hope for those without hope. Help us spread the word, forward and join us with your donations.
"[A 7.0 magnitude earthquake rocked the island nation of Haiti yesterday leaving large portions of the country’s capital, Port-au-Prince, in ruins. Thousands are suspected to be dead, according to the New York Times.

The earthquake, the largest in the region in over 200 years, hit Haiti shortly after 5 p.m. on Tuesday and severely damaged many buildings in the country, including the presidential palace.
Throughout the night, over 30 aftershocks of 4.5 magnitude or higher hit Haiti and set off tsunami warnings in nearby Cuba. By morning, Haitian President René Préval suspected that over 100,000 people perished due to the earthquake, The BBC reports.

The United Nations reported that five of its workers were killed and over 100 went missing, including the group’s head, Hédi Annabi, after the earthquake destroyed the UN mission’s headquarters in Haiti. The Catholic archbishop of Haiti, Joseph Serge Miot, was also one of the victims of the earthquake.
United States President Barack Obama said that the U.S. aid agencies had begun to send help and search-and-rescue teams to Haiti.
“This is a time when we are reminded of the common humanity that we all share,” Obama said in the White House diplomatic reception room, according to the New York Times.]"
