As daylight breaks and time passes, the true extent of the devastation endured by Haiti in the wake of the 7.0 magnitude Earthquake that hit late Tuesday evening is emerging. We, the Caribbean Students Association, express our heartfelt prayers and deepest sympathies to the victims on the Island as well as their concerned families worldwide. The images pouring in from all media outlets are a constant reminder that help needs to arrive swiftly.
On Thursday, January 28th in the Nyumburu Multicultural Center we will be hosting a candlelight vigil and dinner to raise funds for Haitian relief mission. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Yele, Haiti. This is the first of many efforts that the Caribbean Students Association will be spearheading. This is an opportunity to galvanize the University of Maryland community into action to support a country in dire need.
In association with other Black Alliance Network organizations boxes to collect goods to be sent to Haiti will be located in 1) Nyumburu, 2) outside the CSA office, 3) Latin Studies Activities Center, and 4) in dorms (specific dorms to be determined). The list of items for donation includes: Baby formula (dry/powder), Baby wipes, Baby bottles, Diapers, Baby clothes, Toiletries (shampoo, soap, toothpaste), Hand sanitizer, Vitamins, First aid kits, Over the counter medicines, Socks, Blankets, Mosquito repellent, Flashlights, Batteries, Candles, Flip flops, T-shirts, Pants, Lightweight jackets, Non perishable food that is not in cans (i.e. seal-packs of tuna).
If you want to help, but cannot make it out to the fundraiser, you can go directly to http://www.Yele.org. Any monetary donation you can contribute will make a huge impact in rebuilding the lives of the earthquake victims, no matter how small.
Please continue to monitor our Google group for more information on donating, volunteering through Alternative Spring Break opportunities, and progress in the rebuilding efforts: http://groups.google.com/group/csa_umcp_2009-2010
Haiti remains in our Prayers,
