HELP US RAISE FUNDS FOR THE HAITI EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS!


On Tues, Jan. 12, a devastating earthquake struck Haiti causing unbelievable damage to an already poverty stricken country. Hundreds of thousands are feared missing or dead, and so many more are left homeless and helpless. Schools, churches, homes, and hospitals have been destroyed, and the people of Haiti have been left with absolutely nothing. I know that we all watch the news and listen to the radio on our way to work, and the thought of helping these people has hopefully crossed everyone’s mind. Now is your opportunity to make good on those thoughts.

Over the next 30 days, we, the School News Nationwide and the Words of Bonds families, would like to raise $20,000 for a variety of not-for-profit organizations and non-governmental organizations including Doctors Without Borders and the Haiti Action Network who are already deployed on the ground providing much needed support. In addition to helping organizations who are working on Haitians’ immediate needs, SNN is also forming partnerships with emergency housing and job developers to help give Haitians more long-term sustainable communities. More about those efforts here.

While many of you may have donated individually, this is a great way for us to pool our resources and donate collectively.  Please consider donating as much as you can spare, from small donation such as $5, to large donation such as $5,000.

SNN JAMAICA RELIEF FUND

Three years ago, several School News Nationwide members visited the poor community of Bethel Town in Westmoreland, Jamaica. The team provided medical care to residents, repaired and painted the Bethel Town School, and initiated a Bethel Town community agricultural development project. After seeing the community’s need and desperation, we pledged to return and improve their school, build new roads, erect new and better housing for the poor, develop a 4,000 square yard playfield, construct a library to accommodate more than 100,000 books, provide a computer lab to accommodate 147 computers, and help the Bethel Town people to become self sufficient.

Please help us to raise the fund that’s needed to build this beautiful library.

Graciously yours,
Bill Tingling
