Helping Hand for Relief and Development has started two new initiatives to help rebuild Haiti:

Haiti Shelter Village: We have launched a campaign to get sponsorships for shelters. HHRD aims to re-build Haiti by building hundreds of shelters using an innovative but very simple design; giving homes to the thousands who have turned homeless after the earthquake. These shelters are being made by volunteers under the supervision of experienced experts in this field. Please donate generously for this very important initiative of HHRD.

The cost to help build one shelter is $900. Please visit www.hhrd.org to donate.

Youth For Haiti: Spend your spring break helping Haiti.

• We would like to invite college students, 18 years of age and older, to sign up for this program.
• Youth will volunteer to build shelters during their spring break or help with the ongoing Medical clinics alongside supervised professionals.
• $500 will cover the cost of airfare, food, lodging and transportation in Haiti.
• Students will be supervised by mentors.
• Youth for Haiti will be for one week for each participant. There will be 3 rotations: Weeks of 3/8, 3/15 and 3/22 of 2010
