Hello Roots,
From news of the disaster hit the airways, we have been listening keenly to understand the situation, and to see how the international community, especially Canada intends to help Haiti at this time. We have been on the phones with local news reporters, and have been in contact with various members of the Brock community to push for a university wide initiative to raise funds and collect goods to help the Haitian people.
There will be a meeting on Friday between various clubs, faculty, staff, independent students, and members of the Niagara community to determine exactly what the school is going to do. At this time co-ordination is very important. All proceeds will go to the Red Cross.
The meeting will be held in the international students lounge, myself and another executive member will be representatives of the club. If anyone desires to attend independently, the meeting will be held at 10 AM.
I would like to take this time to say that we haven't been silent out of negligence, we've realized that we can not help Haiti on our own, and as a result we are aligning our actions with that of the wider community.
You will be kept posted, if you have any ideas for raising funds, please send me a message ASAP and I will present your idea at the meeting on Friday.
We need to pray for Haiti.
