How people are helping Haiti
Like many millions of Americans I was quick to give money to aid organizations working on the relief effort in Haiti. Once we've given what we can, many of us have turned to encouraging more people to donate. We at Current compiled a list of organizations we recommend for donations and today we'll be one of the many television networks airing the Haiti telethon.
I've been really impressed with some of the innovative ways people have found to help out Haiti. One of the most successful has been the Red Cross' text messaging campaign which has raised millions. But some others, perhaps not as visible, have found ways to help beyond just a donation.
Crisis Camp brings together computer programmers with relief workers and first responders in a way to let people with a wider set of skills help out with the crisis.
