How to help the situation in Haiti

Matt Watters was kind enough to write in offering some advice on how to help the people of Haiti in this time of crisis.

He expressed his concern over the global economy in its relation to raising charity money. He said in an e-mail message,"this economy is going to make it hard to raise the money that is so needed. The situation is beyond desperate, to say the least. It is going to be a challenge to raise the funds, but i am confident it can be done. It must be done"

Matt is currently working on numerous on-campus projects to raise money for his cause. Look for his efforts in the future including a community run, dinner, canning event and activities in coordination with Greek life and residence life.

Getting involved in active volunteer work is always the most meaningful way of offering support. If you would like to help Matt in his efforts he is collecting checks to building a new medical clinic in Haiti.

Checks can be made out to
St. Boniface Haiti Foundation, with a memo at the bottom indicating "fishing
village clinic".

St. Boniface is serving as the entity that will hold the funds till the amount has been raised. Please send them to is University of Delaware address
at:

1307 Christiana west tower
16 Christiana drive
newark, de 19717

"The clinic can use all the help it can get. The longer it takes to
build this clinic, the longer those people are without any health care. Anything
you can do in terms of fundraising is greatly appreciated," Matt said.
