Supporting Haiti Emergency Relief Fund
by Kevin Pina
 Dear Friends; I have been asked by the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund to return to Haiti immediately and begin to work on relief logistics on the ground. I am uniquely qualified for this task as I understand the culture and history intimately as well as have prior experience dealing with the US marines in Haiti.
I am trying to put together a small fund to help with expenses and to have some "get it done" money in my pocket. I also intend to serve as a watchdog of sorts through my role as a journalist and filmmaker.
Please help me in this endeavor and consider me your personal emissary and public servant on the ground in Haiti. The quickest and easiest way to contribute is through PAYPAL to:

I will be able to use my PAYPAL debit in the Dominican Republic to purchase supplies and medicines so please keep giving and encourage others as well. This is people to people aid working directly with the grassroots.
Respectfully with his hat in his hand,
Kevin Pina
