Haiti 2010 The road to recovery may be a long one for the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Even after a the aftershocks, the people of Haiti still remain hopeful, keeping true to their national motto: L'Union Fait La Force - Unity is Strength. While it is extremely important for our global community to provide urgent assistance, it is also necessary to acknowledge how the history of Haiti has led to the current situation. TIG and our partners at the Centre for Global Education are organizing a Canada-wide Help Haiti fundraiser. What will you do? Donate, join discussions, and inform yourself through our Panorama magazine or blog about it on our Haiti 2010 group blog. |
