Haiti Disaster - Doing what you can to help
Our friend and fellow speaker/trainer Lara Masse of Higher Ground Coaching compiled a list of Canadian aid organizations and their links to donate to the relief effort in Haiti.
The Government of Canada has announced that they will match all donations. So each little bit we can do will help and double.
Joanne and I made a donation to the Red Cross.
I've included the info Lara sent below:
