On January 12, 2010, the country of Haiti was massively affected by an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale.  Over thirty aftershocks were experienced from this destructive earthquake with more than ten of these aftershocks measuring between 5.0 and 5.9 on the same scale.  It is estimated that, at present, nearly 3 million people were affected by the quake with nearly 200,000 of that number presumed dead.

As our country stands in turmoil with limited resources, damaged and demolished hospitals, and men, women, and children left without shelter, food, and proper care, we ask that you support our country by donating to a relief fund we have set up through our non-profit organization, Alternative Spring Break - Haiti.
