Haiti Disaster Relief Effort

 

** YOU MAY BRING ITEMS FOR DONATION TO THE REDRESS RALEIGH BENEFIT SHOW THIS EVENING!**

From BBC News:

“The 7.0-magnitude quake, Haiti’s worst in two centuries, struck south of Port-au-Prince, on Tuesday. Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive told US network CNN he believed more than 100,000 people had died. The Red Cross says up to three million people are affected.

The quake, which struck about 15km (10 miles) south-west of Port-au-Prince, was quickly followed by two aftershocks of 5.9 and 5.5 magnitude.The first tremor had hit at 1653 local time (2153 GMT) on Tuesday, the US Geological Survey said. Phone lines to the country failed shortly afterwards.”

Beleza is teaming up with MERCI, which is sponsored by the United Methodist Church, to get goods in the hands of the people quickly. If you want to donate any of these items to this cause, you can deliver them to Beleza (2014 Cameron Street Raleigh, NC 27605).
