"Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul.
If one member is afflicted with pain,
Other members uneasy will remain.
If you have no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you cannot retain.

-Sa'adi, 13th Century Persian Poet

 

Dear Friends of Child Foundation,

I am sure, like millions of people around the world you have been following news of the disastrous Haiti earthquake. This human suffering is unimaginable, about one hundred thousand have been killed and millions are homeless, hungry and without access to clean water.

Thousands of volunteers and relief workers have rushed to help and many others are on their way to save as many lives as possible. But, what is next? What happens when Haiti falls from headline news? Who will help them when relief workers leave? Unfortunately, suffering continues but the help will not. Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, with 85% of Haitians already living in desperate poverty.

Now, with hospitals and schools in ruin they urgently need our help. Child Foundation, consistent with its policy of helping children around the world is teaming up with Mercy Corps to collect aid for the most vulnerable part of Haiti’s society- the children. Mercy Corps is a well-known international organization with many years of experience working with communities to shelter and nurture children through innovative education, health and nutrition programs. All donations collected by Child Foundation will be donated to Mercy Corps programs that help children in Haiti to deal with present realities and prepare them to become successful in their society.

There are moments like this that we as human beings must come together as a global community and help each other. Let's make sure the people of Haiti who just lost thousands of their children and parents do not face this disaster alone.

Thank you for taking action in the face of this tragedy.

Please donate to Child Foundation's Haiti Earthquake Fund as generously as possible.

Sincerely,

Masoud Modarres
Executive Manager
