Hope for Haiti Now

Because of the big earthquake in Haiti, thousands of Haitian people have no homes, no food and no medicine.

Around the world, people want to help Haiti. They want to give money.

•President Obama asked Americans to send a text message to a special phone number to give $10 (7 Euros). Americans gave $1.7million (1.2million Euros) in one day.

•MTV Networks presented a live global telethon Jan. 22 to help victims of of the earthquake in Haiti. 

The show was presented by George Clooney (Los Angeles) and the Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean (New York).

 

The concert featured musical performances and many celebrity appearances.

Money from the telethon will go to Oxfam America, Partners in Health, Red Cross, UNICEF and Yele Haiti Foundation.

•In England, Stanley’s school in Norwich had a ‘Hats for Haiti’ day. Every pupil wore a hat and gave money. The school made £700 (800 Euros). The school’s headmaster says, “I hope other schools do the same and have a ‘Hats for Haiti’ day”.
