Hope for Haiti Now live on the web!

Following the exciting live telecast of the Golden Globes Award on the red carpet, social media is again being used by Hollywood.
This time, it’s for a good cause (although, you would have noticed the celebrities were wearing a ribbon in solidarity with the people of Haiti on the red carpet).
On the Golden Globes, Nicole Kidman spoke out asking for people to support and contribute to Haiti. She also mentioned that George Clooney was organising a telethon in aid of Haiti.
Well, the telethon is now showing live (WATCH IT HERE – MTV has collaborated with Facebook for this), and over 100 Hollywood stars – actors and musicians – have come together to pick up calls, including Mel Gibson, Meg Ryan and I think I also saw Ben Affleck.
George Clooney earlier introduced the programme, and Halle Berry as well as Leonardo Di Capriowas also on the show to share her thoughts and called for people’s support. In between, there will also be performances. Coldplay and Bruce Springsteen has already performed, and Stevie Wonder is on now. Anderson Cooper is also reporting live from Port-Au-Prince throughout the show.
You don’t want to miss this, and make a donation if you can.

After almost 8 months of Haiti earthquake.You can find the latest news in wikipedia. Here is some quote from wiki
“In July, as much as 98% of the rubble from the quake remains uncleared. An estimated 26 million cubic yards (20 million cubic meters) remain, making most of the capital impassable.[210] Thousands of bodies remain in the rubble. The number of people in relief camps of tents and tarps since the quake remains at 1.6 million, and almost no transitional housing has been built. Most of the camps have no electricity, running water, or sewage disposal, and the tents are beginning to fall apart. Crime in the camps is widespread, especially against women and girls. Between 23 major charities, $1.1 billion has been collected for Haiti for relief efforts. Two percent of the money has been released.[211][212] According to a CBS report, $3.1 billion was pledged for humanitarian aid and has paid for field hospitals, plastic tarps, bandages, and food, plus salaries, transportation and upkeep of relief workers. By May 2010, enough aid had been raised internationally to give each displaced family a check for $37,000″

There are definitely a number of particulars like that to take into consideration. That could be a great point to deliver up. I provide the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you carry up where a very powerful factor can be working in sincere good faith. I don?t know if greatest practices have emerged round things like that, however I’m sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both girls and boys feel the affect of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

Can I just say what a reduction to seek out somebody who actually is aware of what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know the way to carry a difficulty to light and make it important. More people need to read this and perceive this side of the story. I cant consider youre not more standard since you definitely have the gift.
