I received this letter recently from World Vision and I thought it would be great to share where and how our donations our being used in Haiti. It’s so awesome to see artists band together to make a difference for a cause like this!

It’s been three months since Haiti’s 7.0-magnitude earthquake. The tragedy of January 12 was unlike any natural disaster ever to hit the Western Hemisphere.

Even in the midst of unprecedented devastation, we have reason to be thankful: partners like you are standing by the people of Haiti, giving generously to support World Vision’s ongoing relief efforts.

Your gifts are bringing health and hope to children like Sendie, 4, who was treated for a dangerous waterborne illness at one of our 13 health clinics in Port-au-Prince.

And 6-year-old Josephine, who plays with other children at one of World Vision’s 19 Child-Friendly Spaces. These centers, operated by caring World Vision staff, give children a chance to be children — to play, learn, and heal from emotional trauma.

Thank you for enabling World Vision to provide life-saving assistance to more than a million people in Haiti. With your gifts, we are caring for the injured, sheltering the homeless, and feeding the hungry.

World Vision has been in Haiti for more than 30 years. We know the people and the potential of this place — and we believe in Haiti’s future. Our response

I invite you to read our 3-month update on the ongoing relief efforts, and I hope you’ll continue to stand with us as we help build a brighter future for the children of Haiti.

God bless,

Rich Stearns
President, World Vision U.S.
