Help us send medical teams and supplies to Haiti January 25, 2010

Dear alumni and current volunteers,

In response to the need for relief support in Haiti, Global will be working in solidarity with the people of Haiti.

In speaking with partners on ground, we have learned that there is an urgent need for medical assistance, not only materials but also personnel.

Global is organizing two types of relief teams consisting of medical professionals and disaster relief workers. The first team, comprising medical professionals, will leave for Haiti as soon as possible. Subsequently, teams will depart for Haiti in upcoming months to help with rebuilding and redevelopment.

We need your help in this matter. Please donate to help us send materials and teams of trained professionals to Haiti.

Thank you very much.

With warmest regards,
Global Youth Network

P.S. For other ways to provide aid to Haiti, please read the following letter written by Josh Steckley, an affiliate and friend of Global. Read More
