Hands Together is a Haitian charity/mission Rick was involved with. Hands Together builds and operates schools in Cite Soleil and other areas, builds wells and other facilities and helps with agricultural projects. Cite Soleil is the poorest area slum in the western hemisphere and likely one of the most challenged spots on the planet. Cite Soleil is in Port-au-prince, the area at which the earthquake hit, and it is hard to imagine how the slums of Cite Soleil with concrete block and tin shacks could have survived this strong earthquake.

Hands Together can use any support as they rebuild their schools and buildings and this is a great way for you to channel your resources into Haiti if you're looking for a way to do so. Rick personally knew the operators of this charity and all monies are directed to good sources -- the people, children, schools and villages of Haiti.

If you want to learn more about Hands Together and their activities on their web site, and to meet Father Tom Hagan a nd Doug Campbell (both affiliated with Lafayette College) on video, see the Hands Together link and these you tube videos.
