TNG-CWA Members Helping Haitian Children

Journalist Tony Winton, president of the News Media Guild, TNG-CWA Local 31222, has been on the ground in Haiti documenting the disaster and the relief effort.

The devastation and suffering in Haiti is beyond words and images. From a people that had next to nothing, the earthquake took everything, with very long odds against the real threats of disease and starvation. A sustained relief effort -- lasting years or decades -- is needed to avoid these, and to give the Haitian people a chance to build a sustainable way of life.

Save the Children has worked continuously in Haiti since 1978, and after the earthquake it began an immediate large-scale relief and recovery effort. They are well suited to undertake the kind of sustained relief effort Tony says is needed, but they need our help in order to do that.

Your contribution will help Save the Children deliver food, water, shelter materials, medicines, hygiene kits, and other essentials during the first critical weeks of the post-disaster period.

Then, as conditions allow and children's survival needs are being met, Save the Children will also use your generous gift to initiate and sustain long-term recovery programs that address the health, education, protection and well being of children in Haiti.
