Helping Haiti

I wanted to write this the day after the earthquake, but I just keep reading all of the amazing accounts from Haiti and know I don't have anything to add.  But because many people have been asking-- here are a few ways to help.

These are just 3 of the many organizations already on the ground in Haiti.  They were in Haiti doing amazing work before the crisis, they are now responding to the emergency, but they will also be there long term.

Planting Peace

Partners in Health

Mennonite Central Committee

Don't worry if you can't donate right now-- the need will be there for many days to come.  Stay tuned with the Small Planet Trading newsletter for when we host a fundraising event. --DeLona

Update-- Feb. 1st
Since posting I've gotten word of two other groups doing their part.

Our wonderful neighbor Cutie Pie Consignment will donate at least 10% off all February sales to Haiti.  Individual consignors may add some of their sale prices as well, so the donation on an item could be as much at 65%.
