A Report From World Vision, Haiti.

Joseph Raglione
Gentle readers within this American Chronicle, anybody who knows me will tell you that without food assistance, I would starve to death. The point is, I'm broke! I did however manage to donate $400. Dollars to World Vision this past year. That donation doubles with help from the Canadian government. I would love to soak Canadian Prime Minister Steven Harper for a couple of million dollars. Attention all Canadians! Immediately send a donation to World Vision before February 12 and don't forget to ask the Canadian government to double the amount you send! The money will help the World Vision Haiti relief project.

Dear Mr. Raglione,

Thanks to an outpouring of support from thousands of Canadians, World Vision staff have been able to provide life-saving support to children and families in Haiti.

But there are still so many living in desperate circumstances, with little food or safe drinking water. The risk of diseases like dysentery and typhoid is growing in packed camps filled with children and families who have nothing left.

The Canadian Government's February 12 deadline to match your donation is fast approaching. Donate now to double its impact!

World Vision has been assisting surviving children and families since the earthquake struck. There are still so many more to help. Please give.

If you have already given, thank you—but we need your help again. If you haven't already given, your gift today can still make a huge difference in so many lives. Your donation of $110 will provide emergency kits for 2 families, $220 will supply 4 families and $550 will provide 10 families with essentials like blankets, hygiene supplies and cooking sets.

In order for your gift to have maximum impact on those living in the most urgent need, please don't wait—the generous contribution from the Canadian Government to match your donation stops after this Friday, February 12. I encourage you to give right now.


Your donation will have a real life-sustaining impact. We've been able to rush emergency kits, food and essentials like tarps and hygiene supplies to thousands of children and families. But as I said, there's so much more that needs to be done. We are aiming to help 200,000 people within three months of the disaster.

Please help us continue our ongoing efforts in Haiti. We're working long term to create a future in which every child who lives there can be safe and well.

God bless you,

Dave Toycen

President, World Vision Canada

P.S.: Remember, there are only 4 days left to take advantage of the Canadian Government's offer to double the impact of your gift for those who need it most. Please donate today!

World Vision is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. As followers of Jesus, we are motivated by God's love to serve all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender.

In cases where donations exceed what is needed or where local conditions prevent program implementation, World Vision will redirect funds to similar activities to help people in need.

About Joseph Raglione
Hi! I am the executive director of the World Humanitarian Peace and Ecology Movement. I began as an environmental activist in 1969 and basically, never stopped! I Graduated College in Social Science and registered as a non-profit corporation in 1988 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am one of a very few non-profit and generic freedom loving journalists left on Earth, and I continue today to study and to understand the problems connected with human activity on this Planet. My affiliates include: GreenPeace, the Nature Conservancy, the Bio-diversity organization, the Sierra Club, the David Suzuky foundation, the WWF, Amnesty International, World Vision, the IUF organization; as well as the wonderful and independant N.A.S.A. scientists studying our Planet's weather systems. Of course NASA also studies the mysteries of the Eternal Universe with satelite generated images and, over the years, have generously allowed me and thousands of our world scientists to study over their shoulder's via the Internet.
In spite of some past U.S. government repression, NASA continues to provide solid evidence of global warming.
NASA has provided me with pictorial evidence of Rainforest deforestation within: Jakarta, Peru, Africa, Brazil and even in Western Canada!
The motivation for such destruction continues to be (often illegally) for: lumber, for bio-fuels, and for Cattle ranching. Today, the perceived future profits for Palm Oil and for Bio-Fuels are prime motivators for environmental destruction. Small crop farming also contributes but that may be changing as farmers learn to protect the Rain-Forest.
With NASA imaging, there is proof that large city heat traps are helping global warming, and with (infrared images)there is proof that several hundred million gas burning vehicles (including ship and airplanes) presently create a hugh quantity of pollution tracks across both Oceans and Sky.
With oil, gas, Coal and Bio-Fuel heated buildings around the world creating C02 emissions, and with Methane release from all animal species...giant Ozone holes have been created and continue to exist above the North and South Poles. Ozone holes allow the Sun to radiate the Ice Caps and to accelerate the Ice melt, which releases more Methane into the atmosphere, which continues to thin out the Ozone. A vicious circle created by human need and also, unhappily, by human greed!
I have been asked to write to the Prime Minister of Japan to ask him to stop the murderous assault on endangered Whales. Every year, thousands of Whales are killed in the Antarctic with GreenPeace volunteers placing themselves between the Whales and the grenade tipped harpoons, and peope like myself, (I did not forget this is my "Bio," putting my old neck on the line attempting to change the situation by writing thousands if not millions of words!
Are words dangerous?
Over three hundred journalists were killed within the last ten years. You tell me if words are dangerous!
As I write these words, the desperate and starving in Darfur are waiting for rescue. I motivated a few kind hearted California Actors to visit the region and to report back. They did! They then created the Darfur coalition and they continue to fight to save the innocent victims trapped in tents in the desert of the Sudan. Darfuri's were attacked and moved from their homes because somebody believes there is Oil under the Sudan desert.
As I write this, a few sick and desperate people in Iraq are wrapping bombs around themselves in order to die in the name of God, and the list of humanitarian disasters continues. I also contribute information to the Reuter's news service. It is time for a change. Please help make it happen!
