the Haiti earthquake


The images and reports starting to come out of Haiti following the earthquake there are heartbreaking. I just read that there may be up to 500,000 people dead. One can only hope these initial estimates are wildly overinflated. Regardless, this is obviously a horrific human tragedy.

A few minutes ago I made a donation to the American Red Cross International Relief Fund on behalf of Paya Bay Resort. I encourage everyone who reads this to also donate to the Red Cross (or your favorite charity). We must all reach out in solidarity to these poor, less-fortunate fellow human beings.
