Solidariedad con Haiti (Port-au-Prince)

Please forward to those concerned about Haiti. Massive Quake Causes Widespread Destruction On January 12th around 4.50pm local time a powerful 7.0 earthquake hit the impoverished nation of Haiti.This was followed more than 30 strong aftershocks. There has been widespread major damage and a loss of life estimated to be in the tens of thousands. We had been set to send a design team to Haiti this month to partner with local NGO Yele Haiti but have put this on hold until we can get a full assessment of the situation. We've connected with both Yele and our close friends at AIDG (Appropriate Infrastructure Development Group). We have made a full commitment to support both their efforts in the long term rebuilding of affected areas. We have launched an appeal for supplying construction and design professionals and supporting earthquake resistant housing and community structures.. If you care about building back better, donate today. Cheers, Cameron Sinclair Executive Director, Architecture for Humanity 848 Folsom Street, Suite 201, San Francisco, CA 94107-1173 W: 415 963 3511 | M: 646 765 0906 | cameron@architectureforhumanity.org Donate Now to Support Rebuilding > Updates: All updates will be via this link. Twitter: I've been doing updates at www.twitter.com/casinclair - If you cannot contribute and want to support our appeal, please link to our site with your social network accounts and/or blogs. Volunteering: In a few months we will organize a volunteer build for Yele but for now we request that you do not 'go to Haiti' unless you are a member of emergency services. We will be doing transitional and long term reconstruction, much like our work after Hurricane Katrina. Chapters: The San Juan Chapter will be the chapter lead and we will coordinate efforts with them.

I was in such state of shock froze and was unable to speak , it was an experience I will not forget one that is part of the personal story called life . Thank you for helping our humanitarian projects to gain visibity once again and reaching new heights therefore benefiting more children . I am sure that now no one will tell me that what I dream and envisage in the future for the slum dwellers cannot become true . So I am going to get out there , risk , ask , dream and dare , fail , fail and accomplished in finding new ways to help children to break the cycle of poverty . Day by day the hope of a brigther future is growing inside the little hearts of my children but is again you with your support that can make it so please join our effords like Barack Obama said change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. Maria

Fwd: PRÉMIOS GANHOS !

SURPRESA !!!

Em contacto telefónico, a Maria informou que não ganhou um prémio mas sim dois!

Ganhou o prémio da categoria Humanitarians entre as 4 finalistas

E ganhou o prémio de Mulher do Ano entre as 19 finalistas

Muito mais do que estávamos à espera.
Quando lhe atribuiram o maior prémio ela quase desmaiou pois isso estava fora dos seus horizontes obter aquele prémio tão apetitoso !

Mais uma vez obrigado pelos votos, pelo apoio, por tudo.

Arménio
