On January 12, 2010, a massive earthquake hit Haiti, killing approximately 200,000 people, and leaving 1.3 million people homeless. In the following weeks and months, the Canadian Red Cross raised $199M to assist in disaster relief and reconstruction.
On the one year anniversary of the disastrous earthquake, I caught a couple news reports that emphasized the amount of reconstruction that still needs to be done. Given the Canadian Red Cross has sent me various updates on how my donation from last year was spent, and because they make the giving very easy (through Paypal), I decided to commemorate the anniversary of the earthquake with another donation.
