After much thought I’ve decided to send the money to two different organizations, half to Danita’s Children and the other half to the International Rescue Committee.
- $250 will be going to Danita’s Children, an orphanage dedicated to helping needy children.
- $250 will go to the International Rescue Committee, specifically for health care, and medicine.
Although I would have preferred to have donated the money to a more creative cause such as phonecards, or a performing arts event, I was told that the logistics and costs would be too complicated.
I would like to thank all of you again that participated whether by submitting ideas, pledging money or promoting. We showed how generous the blogging world could be for disasters such as the one in Haiti.
