What can I do?

By admin. Posted in News | No Comments »

Many of the women I know feel overwhelmed by the damage and destruction of the recent earthquake in Haiti. We’ve all seen the horrific images spattered across news channels. But what can we do to help? Here are some ways you can get involved and help NOW:

1) Help the Kids (Orphans)

Huffington Post - Orphans International Movement Around the World
When Jim Luce founded Orphans International Worldwide (OIWW) in 1999, he had no idea it would grow into an international movement. Like Alcoholics Anonymous, the idea caught fire. Today, there are over 100 “Orphans International” organizations in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Not to mention Europe. LINK

B.R. Guest will match up to $10,000 of the donation proceeds.
