haiti-unicefOur thoughts and prayers are with the many thousands affected by the disaster in Haiti.

We’ve heard moving stories and seen powerful images over the past week. We’ve seen miracles happen and are grateful for the heroes who have jumped in to help. Rescue workers are still finding survivors, from a three-week-old baby to an elderly woman.

Many victims are children who have been orphaned, lost or separated from their families. Our friends at UNICEF are working to help the most vulnerable of them.

Executive director Anne Veneman said, “Expert estimates suggest that 46 percent of Haiti’s nearly 10 million people are under 18 years of age. The special needs of children for food, shelter and protection, must be factored in at the very outset of relief efforts and UNICEF will do everything in its power to make sure these needs are met.”
