Just a few short years ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Haiti as part of my work with Freedom from Hunger. While there, I met with scores of women who were working their way out of poverty with the help of Credit with Education, a pioneering microfinance initiative. Although each faced extraordinary barriers, through the motivation of their love for their children and their extended families and the tireless support of one another, they were succeeding remarkably. As has been the case with most of my travels in the developing world, I was the recipient while in Haiti of unconditional hospitality and generosity. Once again, those with the least to give were the first to share the most. Now, it is my turn to give back, and I am asking you as friends and colleagues to consider joining me. The recent earthquake has devastated so many lives in Haiti. And, residing in the poorest country on earth, the people of Haiti have no resources by which to recover except those that we share with them. I am asking you to consider making a donation TODAY to Freedom from Hunger. Visit www.freedomfromhunger.org – 100% of your gift will go directly to relief efforts. I serve on the Board, and have personally met the dedicated staff of our partner organization ACLAM in Haiti who will be managing distribution of resources to relief and rebuilding. Please visit the Freedom from Hunger Website to learn more, or call me directly at 303-779-3004 ext. 3522. If you are reading this, you are a person of compassion, and I invite your generous assistance.
