Devastation and sadness are words that only barely describe the challenges facing the people of Haiti today.
In the aftermath of the massive earthquake that hit the country a worldwide humanitarian effort has unfolded to provide assistance.
Call To Action
“This is a watershed moment. It's historic,” said Albe Angel, founder and CEO of Give On the Go, whose company is helping Haitian-born musician Wyclef Jean raise funds for his Yele Haiti Foundation. Users of mobile devices can make an instant donation of $5 to the charity by texting “Yele” to 501501. The charge later will appear on the donor's telephone bill.
