Help for Haiti

Posted by Carolyn Foote on January 24, 2010 at 8:31am in Technology Tools
Crisis Camps around the country have developed some helpful tools for Haiti.  What a great example of social networking used for good.  Please share these and get the word out.

We Have/We need is a tool to match up needs/donors.   http://www.wehaveweneed.org/

Tweak the Tweet is a project to develop a common set of hashtags for haiti.   http://epic.cs.colorado.edu/helping_haiti_tweak_the_twe.html

Other projects are listed here  http://www.crisiscommons.org/

All of these projects are being built by volunteers, self-organized.  Amazing examples of collaborative efforts!

    Our school is sponsoring Smile of a Child. (www.smileofachild.org)
    We have a man in Haiti now that is helping with the organization. They have sent a back-loading ship (one of few) that does not require them to dock in the damaged port. They are bringing all kinds of medical supplies, emergency kits, and shelters - especially focused on helping the children of Haiti.
