Haiti Video

Here is a short video from Haiti... it gives you a pretty good idea in what the landscape looks like... the destruction, the tents... is something unbelievable!!!

On the other hand... tomorrow I am meeting with a lawyer at 10am... and hope that soon, we will have all the paperwork done to file for the 501c3 (Non Profit Organization). In the mean time, the way you can help, is to continue to tell your friends about People for Haiti... invite them to see our blog www.peopleforhaiti.com - they can follow up on our cause, see pictures, videos, donate, etc... together we can make a difference!
