Help Haiti NOW by donating to MAF
For those who want to provide some IMMEDIATE assistance to the people of Haiti, I have an opportunity for you.
There's Canadian missions organization that a friend of mine works for, Mission Aviation Fellowship. They currently has several planes and pilots permanently stationed in Haiti, and have an already established network for getting supplies and medical assistance to less accessible areas of the country. With roads likely blocked and broken, air transport is going to be a PRIORITY over the next several days to get food, water and medical supplies to those who need them. I spoke to their office this morning, and their current priorities are to 1) help re-establish reliable communications within the country to co-ordinate relief efforts, 2) ensure their planes are fully operational, and 3) map out the strategy to get aid out the door ASAP.
If you REALLY want to help RIGHT NOW, donating to MAF is perhaps the quickest and most efficient way to do so.
