Haiti Update #1

Just spoke with Jack Minton, President of Hope Force International (our partner in Haiti).

Following the devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Haiti yesterday, CoAid is monitoring the situation very closely. As the full extent of the situation becomes clear, we will be formulating our response which is likely to take the form of recovery than immediate disaster relief. CoAid is contacting other agencies who have a presense in Haiti and we hope to partner with them to deliver aid.

CoAid's "Big Idea" proposal is now live on Facebook:

Check out our video, photos and proposal text.

Thanks,

Steve Neill
President, CoAid

Much of what CoAid does to assist vulnerable communities relates to the sad reality of forced migration: people made homeless through natural disasters, people made refugees by conflict, people forced to seek asylum due to harsh political regimes, and people forced into modern-day slavery.

The emotional, spiritual, practical, and social support CoAid provides acts as a tool of prevention to the tragedy of human trafficking that pervades the communities in which we serve.

Effective immediately, our toll-free number (USA only) has changed.

It is now: 1-888-41-COAID (26243)

Please update your records.

Thank you
