Happy 2010
We were very busy toward the end of last year with filling Gem orders online and restocking our Gem supply at Saratoga Dance Store. After the Holidays we tallied up the money that we collected for We.
Because of the recent earthquake Gem has decided that Haiti needs our help at this very moment. We are sending a donation to them through a website that Al Gore and the We Campaign recommended, in the amount of $476.00.
Please see the attached letter from the we campaign to find out how you can donate Now.
The earthquake in Haiti has been catastrophic. More than three million people have been affected, and estimates are that over 50,000 have died. The human suffering is unimaginable.
That's why I'd like to pause from our usual conversation and ask for your help.
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, with 85% of Haitians already living in desperate poverty. Now, with hospitals in ruin, dire shortages of even basic necessities like fresh water, and no way to find out whether family members are alive, the Haitian people urgently need our help.
A number of organizations are already engaged in critical relief efforts, and I urge you to support as many of them as you can. One of them, Oxfam America, has an emergency response team of more than 200 people already on the ground. The need for clean water and critical public health services is massive and immediate -- and our donations can help save lives.

There are moments when we, as human beings, must come together as a global community and as stewards of each others' health and welfare. It is that sense of interconnectedness that brought each of us to the climate movement, and it is moments like this that bring out the best in us -- as individuals, as a nation, and as a movement.
Let's make sure the people of Haiti do not face this disaster alone. Thank you for taking action in the face of this tragedy.
