Haiti's worst earthquake in 200 years struck yesterday
Dear friends,
Haiti's worst earthquake in 200 years struck yesterday, devastating the capital city, killing thousands and threatening over 3 million people in this desperately poor country.
Haitians are urgently appealing to the world for help -- we’re already in touch with strong local organisations mobilising community-based relief efforts. Let’s send a worldwide wave of donations to the front lines, to save lives now and help people recover and rebuild. Avaaz will work partners to make sure the help reaches those who need it most. Click below to donate:
https://secure.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_haiti
Based on expert advice from leading humanitarian NGOs who have been working in Haiti for over 30 years, we'll offer donations to trusted local organizations, including:
Honor and Respect for Bel Air, a big community-based network in Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince, which is also supported by our friends at the respected Brazilian NGO Viva Rio
Coordination Régionale des Organisations de Sud-Est (CROSE), which brings together some of the most active community groups in the South of Haiti where the earthquake struck hardest. These groups include: women's groups, schools networks and local cooperatives
In 2008, Avaaz members donated over $2 million for Burmese monks to respond to the devastating Cyclone Nargis. Our money made an incredible difference there -- because it went directly to local people on the front lines of the aid effort.
Times of painful tragedy can bring out the best in us by bringing people together. Let's join with the people of Haiti to help them rescue their communities from this brutal disaster -- act now at this link:

With hope for Haiti,
Luis, Paul, Graziela, Paula, Ricken, Pascal, Alice, Benjamin, Milena and the whole Avaaz team

Haiti’s holocaust
The great wrath of mother nature has hit the people of Haiti’s for the world to see. Changing the people of the worlds perceptive to the way thing are seen in the world around them. The United Nation Peace keeping Forces and the international NGO’s going into a disaster of Biblical proportion. It is a holocaust that happened in one day for a moment similar to an atomic holocaust. Whether it is a man made or nature created holocaust the long living consequences are very similar. There is no ways in correcting the great wrongs that have been done to so many Haitian people in this holocaust. You can only try to help the victims that are still living in making there lives better.
There are different stages of shock that evolve over time depending upon ones proximity and ties to the epic center of such a great disaster. The crying pain of the people of Haiti are heard loud and clear today by the people of the world. With the worst part of the pain and sorrow yet to come. Hundreds of millions of dollars will be raised and thousands of volunteers from all over the wold will go to Haiti to help. The Israeli government one of many nations sending a medical teams to create a medical trauma centers in Haiti. The scars of the living victims of Haiti and volunteer workers will live on far beyond the memory of majority of the people around the world.
Today the international mass media can cover live the natural disaster in Haiti. Tomorrow the situation will become too dangerous for them and the international volunteer relief workers. As the shock wears off and the condition worsen in a very bad situation that was not to good to begin with. Lawlessness and chaos are going to hinder the international relief efforts. The United Nations with a budget the approximate size of the University of Minnesota is totally is going to be over whelmed by this crisis.
What good could ever come out of such a natural holocaust as in Haiti. Very little for Haitians people at the epic center but for many millions of people around the world it could be an eye opener to how fortunate they really are. Unfortunately it takes such a holocaust in pulling the nations of the world armies together to do humanitarian work. Maybe some of the Haitian lessons taught at schools all around the world, will influence the children in what they want to be when they grow up for the better. May the pain and sorrow of the people of Haiti be a lesson to so many people around the world to how fortunate they really are.

My God
"He is the essence of life. It is pure and undefiled consciousness."
Only God is great.
God is light, not darkness, God is love, not hate
God is truth, not untruth.
We see the fatigue overcoming the Western nations
The world is tired of hate
God grant that the humanitarian aid.
arrive in time to save lives
Get them to my brothers in Haiti
Clicia Pavan
Namaste
¡Dios mío!
"Él es la esencia de la vida. Es pura y sin mancha la conciencia".
Sólo Dios es grande.
Dios es luz, no la oscuridad, Dios es amor, no de odio
Dios es la verdad, no la mentira.
Vemos de la fatiga de la superación de las naciones occidentales
El mundo está cansado de odio
Quiera Dios que la ayuda humanitaria.
llegar a tiempo para salvar vidas
Haz que mis hermanos en Haití
Clicia Pavan
Namaste
