REMEMBERING the victims of the Haiti Earthquake and taking action to help them is the push of a new Facebook Cause. A California company has taken on the responsibility of calling people to Join this global movement to take time out of the month of March, to REMEMBER, and to HELP the tiny Island Nation rebuild.

Millions of lives have been altered in ways most in the global community will never know. The Earthquake of January 12, 2010, on the island nation of Haiti, has taken the lives of hundreds of thousands, and permanently changed the lives of millions.

As a global community, we have begun the process of reaching out, and helping. Over 100 million dollars of relief has been raised to date, and the numbers rise every day. However, it is a long term commitment we must make, to help this nation rise from these ashes. It is a long term commitment we must make to help them survive.

To Date –

• 100+ Million Dollars raised (via text messaging)
• Nearly a Two Hundred Thousand or more dead
• Over a Hundred Thousand children Orphaned
• Millions at risk of disease
• Whole Infrastructures destroyed

The MarchForHaiti Facebook Cause is seeking to make sure the typical short attention span normally ascribed to long term disaster assistance, does not occur again. To that end, they are calling on the entire global community to visit the Facebook Cause page, and register their chosen action to help, in the month of March, For Haiti.

The purpose of this Facebook Cause, is to generate action by large numbers of individuals in March, two months post disaster. The Cause page is not seeking immediate nor direct donations, rather, promoting the posting ideas for action in March. The Cause page has partnered with the World Food Program and the Red Cross, via Facebook, to direct ALL donations collected through this Cause, directly to these organizations.

Ideas for activities include;

Walk-A-Thons
Spa Parties
Bake Sales
Skate Park Fundraisers
Text Messaging Parties

Or just individual donations

The MarchForHaiti Movement’s mission is Inspiration, seeking to provide a platform for others to visit, where they can find ideas to Inspire action on THEIR part, in the Month of March.

The world has watched this tragedy turn into hope, in many ways. As time passes, and the needs grow, the opportunity to keep that flow moving forward becomes more paramount. This Cause will endeavor to make sure this movement Inspires people to take 1 Month to Remember and 1 Month to Help the victims of the Haiti Earthquake, hoping that others will be Inspired to join the effort.
