What WashU Students are Doing for Haiti

The video below is NOT produced by WU students, but I thought I'd share this video as an opener to this post. Listen while you read. These are talented youth. Since arriving back at WU, I have received many emails and Facebook message/invites regarding initiatives that WU students are starting to have for supporting Haiti, so I thought I'd pass the word. Community Service Office. This previous post shares CSO suggestions and insight on how we can immediately get involved with the efforts to help Haiti. Please read it and participate. Student Union's Goals. SU President, Jeff Nelson, recently sent a challenge to all students to help SU raise and donate at least $20,000 to the Partners in Health (PIH) for relief efforts by Monday, January 25th. [They] ask that each student go to http://su.wustl.edu/help-haiti and donate $5 to this effort. Student Union will donate $500 from its fundraising account and an additional $1 for every $40 donated up to our $20,000 goal. Do it!!! Black Senior Alliance "Jump Off Party." This student group will be helping Haiti by hosting a back-to-school party THIS WEEKEND that will collect can goods and money in collaboration with Partners in Health.

Freshman and Catalyst member, Andrew Taliaferro recently launched his initiative, Touch the Sphere, which aims to keep WashU students alert and contributing to the cause via the Touch the Sphere: Students United for Change in Haiti Facebook cause that he created. Please join it and contribute- all proceeds go to the American Red Cross. These are each awesome endeavors in their own ways. Please support with as much generosity as possible. Share other things that WU peeps are doing as well! Peace
