Help For Haiti



The devastating earthquake that took place in Haiti is beyond the scope of our imagination-
urgently required now: donations. Donations for medical supplies, shelter, food, clean water. Please- contact one of these relief organizations and give what you can: www.worldvision.ca, www.redcross.ca, www.salvationarmy.ca, www.unicef.ca

Locally, we are banding together to help. This evening at the Babylon Club, 317 Bank Street , Oni the Haitian Poet is hosting a fundraiser with several area musicians, $10 at the door. Oni has friends and family in Haiti...including her own father, who she has not heard from. It is devastating. In Manotick, Grace Agostinho, owner of the French Cafe, is donating all proceeds from coffee sales to help an orphanage in Gonaives, Haiti-
a cause that is close to her heart, having already worked the past year to raise $50,000 for the orphanage. We spoke to Grace on the morning show this morning, she is torn apart - having just returned from Haiti recently. She has no idea of the status of the orphanage she has been trying to help. Local stories. Please let us know what you are doing to help the victims of Haiti, and we will do our best to pass it along. Call us on 'Stuntman and the Shark' , 613-750-4-BOB, or email us, mornings@939bobfm.com. We can make a difference
We can make a difference together.
