**Update: you can now donate to the paypal account on my other blog. The money will go to the people of Grace Village.
As many of you know, Hurricane Tomas is currently headed towards Haiti, in specific, right towards port-au-prince and carrefour where I was just staying. I just spoke to Grace Village about the immediate needs should the hurricane hit.WATER- clean water is what they need. This will be the key to survival just like in any other case. Especially with the current cholera outbreak, clean water is even of more importance given the fact that cholera is spread through contaminated drinking water.
$2 can buy a large jug of clean water. (think the ones found in Dr's offices) If you can spare $2 please let me know and I will collect it and get it sent down to Grace Village.
Just look at all the faces that could be effected (and already have been by a major earthquake just 9 months ago.)
even if the hurricane does not hit (which I pray to God id doesn't) the water will still go to great use! who doesn't need fresh clean water? (I know they definitely do!)
Thanks for rallying with me, passing this on, and helping in the fight to keep haiti alive!
