Scenes from Haiti continually appear through various media channels such as television, media, print and the most educational of all — Facebook.
From being a “fan” to joining a “cause” there are endless ways to help the devastation and tragedy for the people in Haiti.
Here at WTAMU the community bands together to take the lead by raising support for the Haitian people. Wednesday night students went on a “Dorm Storm” and asked for monetary donations.
Through Happy State Bank, Phi Delta Theta and Aramark, WT will be hosting a “Hot Dogs for Haiti.” The cost will be $1 per hot dog, but donations above the fee would be appreciated. Location of the event will be at the Pedestrian Mall. Furthermore, an information booth will be set up from 9 to 5 in the JBK this Thursday to talk about the events in Haiti. Different international organizations and their response to Haiti will be showcased as well as new and upcoming information.
The Student Success Center desk will be accepting contributions through Friday, Jan. 29 and will assist people with their endeavors to provide aid. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the Christian Relief Fund in Amarillo.
Milton Jones, the president of the organization is already in Haiti, and is looking for the people in the Canyon/Amarillo area to help in making a difference.
