Haiti Earthquake - 14/01/2010
AID REACHING CHILDREN
EMERGENCY HAITI EARTHQUAKE APPEAL
This is a shocking event and it is crucial that the international community supports the Haitian people at this critical time. Aid Reaching Children are planning to be part of that community and we are appealing once again to the people of Guernsey to make donations for the children of this disaster. We will as always investigate and take great care before parting with funds raised.
Whether we actually plan to go out there remains to be decided. We are aware of the political unrest that exist in Haiti and would never put any of our volunteers in unnecessary danger.
We are, as we speak, researching the best methods of getting aid directly to the children who are the victims of this disaster, in the most efficient and reliable way as possible.
Haiti, as we know is a poor and depraved country and I know the people of this island will give generously so I will take this opportunity to say huge thank you in advance.
For more information please contact Linda Garnham 07781103369 or Nell Broome 07781455460.

We would love to send individual thank you's to all our sponsors, however it would take time and money which could be put to better use. I know each and everyone of you will understand this so once again a big THANK YOU from all the team at A.R.C
