We are all shocked and saddened by the devastation in Haiti. My first reaction, shared by many people around the world, was “What can I possibly to do help?” I’ve been struck by how quickly individuals and groups have used the Internet to organize, to inform, and to get food, money and medical supplies to Haiti. If you would like to learn more and to help, see below for information and ideas.
