Heavy hearts at the UN. Just coming back from staff briefing on Haiti. A colleague I know survived but the disastrous earthquake is the biggest single loss in UN history and probably the biggest disaster the UN has dealt with.A video showed shocking damage in Haiti and first hand reports of Haitian colleagues were heartbreaking. Secretary-General called the international response overwhelming and an act of love. It will take years for the people to get back on track.
You can help, too, here a couple of suggestions:
- UN Foundation: UN including the World Food Program is the first responder
- Betterplace: Good for smaller, direct projects with regular communications
- or if you are a Business, donate and help reconstruct: Business.un.org
