Haiti Benefit Results

First, on behalf of all IRD staff, I'd like to offer a big thank you to everyone who participated in our Haiti Benefit and Raffle last week near headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. We had a great turnout - over 300 - and those who came seemed to enjoy themselves. And most importantly, we collected almost $40,000 in money for our Haiti programs.

At the benefit we first aired our thank you video to our donors. Take a look and let us know what you think.

Having recently returned from Haiti, I can tell you this video represents pretty much exactly what this money has been and will be going to: building latrines, sanitation training, and providing shelter and temporary employment. And as we've mentioned in previous posts, because of weather, limited resources and deteriorating conditions, everyone in the NGO community is still working against the clock in Haiti. So please keep the efforts in your thoughts.

Watan Welfare Foundation had selected a few villages in the Charsadda District. We will provide sustainable development interventions to make the people of these villages self sufficient. A group by the name of Watan Welfare Foundation has been established on the facebook. Please join us.

Its terrible situation and demands for an urgent attention of humanitarian relief and development organizations. I believe Sagal's visit will be fruitful for IRD and other NGOs & donors to understand the scale of humanitarian crises in Somalia and chalk out an emergency humanitarian relief program for the miserable people.

Thanks

Having good sight increases one's productivity and proficiency in their studies. With conferences and free eye examinations as outreach projects, children in remote rural areas can have a better sight and future.

Local aid has to be developed. The contributions are worth it for the medical needs of the people.

Good to know that they held the World AIDS Day in Sudan. The people there needs help with regards to the dangers of AIDS and HIV.

I pray that international aid will focus on building quality hospital for the population. These conditions are appalling and I would like if the quality of service for health does improve.

These health promotion activities in Laos help a lot in raising awareness about how to maintain good health specially in the rural areas. We hope this will also be the start in improving access to health care facilities in Laos.

I look to improve the standards of the hospitals in the African continent. I believe that a healthy population will start a prosperous economy.
