Dear Member

We don't usually use our system for anything but the business end of our communications with you. But sometimes world events mean we all need use whatever resources are available to us to help others.

That's where we are with the disastaer in Haitia

You have likely been following the events in Haiti over the past week, looking for the best way to help.

One of the problems I have with donating is that I am never sure my money will go direct to the problem, rather than pay for the charities 'costs'. Are you the same?

From my research I note that The Hopital Albert Schweitzer (HAS) near Port-au-Prince is a worthy recipient of your dollars. Founded in 1954, this hospital is not only one of the few medical centers not seriously damaged by the earthquake, it is also the only hospital in the region with surgical suites.

"As the flow of people urgently seeking care increases over the next few days and weeks, our resources will be pushed to the breaking point. It is critical that we receive support to help us continue with our mission," writes HAS Managing Director Ian Rawson on the HAS blog. (You can read more about the HAS relief efforts here.)

You can make an immediate impact with your donation at www.hashaiti.org.

You'll feel great about yourself all day, that's a promise.

Sincerely,
Jamie Sylvian
