Help Local Haiti Organizations

My trusted colleague, Hannah Sassaman was on the ground post Katrina, and well understands how local community groups are better able to serve in times of crisis than huge multi-national groups.  She sends this:

"The biggest thing I can recommend is to trust the leadership of local people and lend your expertise and support when asked for it by those local leaders, and to fundraise to their needs. 

Friends who are working with local organizations in Haiti recommend that you donate to these organizations, which are local community-driven projects with real ability to deploy each cent you donate to support and save lives now:"

Hi Sue,

I'm seeking your documentary after listening to on Bob McChesney's podcast show--looking forward to seeing it.

I'm curious, why don't you have your posts applying a date to them? It gives your post a chronological sense roooting them over time--just a suggestion.

Keep up the good work... we are starting an info shop in Lexington, KY and appreciate good media critiques!
