Haiti Roundup: Donation Downpour Slowing
Two weeks after the Haiti earthquake, the outpouring of disaster-relief donations is slowing down, a trend that could have a major impact on long-term prospects for reconstruction on the devastated island, CNN Money reports.
A Canadian charity that has served disabled Haitian children since 1987 was wiped out in the earthquake, reports The Globe and Mail.
The two buildings in which Pazapa operated in the town of Jacmel, about 50 miles from Port-au-Prince, crumbled in the magnitude 7.0 tremor. Staff members and clients escaped unharmed. Marika MacRae, executive director of Pazapa, said the organization has no place in Haiti to try to rebuild its programs but that she is returning to Canada to begin fund raising for new facilities.
