We've already donated through yele.org (Wyclef Jean's initiative to help his home country, but also see American Red Cross, Center for International Disaster Information for more ways to donate) but we will be involving our family and friends by hosting a dinner party where I will make a fabulous dinner and our friends will bring donations to pool together and send to Haiti as a group.
This is a great opportunity to act in a socially conscious manner and I encourage everyone to host their own fundraising dinner party. Let's come together and raise money for people who are truly in need after a horrifyingly strong earthquake decimated a country undeserving of such devastation. If you do, please share your experiences.
We have spent way too long ignoring Haiti as a nation and we need our humanitarian spirits to step up. You can even use the e-mail I sent to my friends as a template:
Hi friends,
In an effort to help Haiti and the people who are suffering from the disastrous earthquake, WM and I will be hosting a dinner party on Martin Luther King day - Monday, January 18. Here's the deal:
Every other day we'd get together, go to a swanky restaurant and spend at least $50. So, instead -- let's come together, enjoy a great dinner prepared by moi, and help Haiti. All we ask is for you to bring a donation that we can pool together and send on our group's behalf.
Please let me know if you're in -- which I hope you all are. This is a great opportunity for us to be socially conscious while still enjoying each other's companies.
Here are the deets one more time:
What: Dinner party to raise money for Haiti
