Writing Prompt: Ways to Help
Saturday, January 16th, 2010
This is not so much a creative writing prompt as it is an encouragement for my fellow writers, particularly those with blogs, to write something on how others might help with the Haiti disaster.
What kinds of suggestions do you have for your readers on how they can help?
Suggestions I would have include donations of money to well known organizations such as the Red Cross, which is my preferred organization to donate to for help.
Other possibilities might be what a local school might organize for care packages to be sent to Haiti orphanages and children in the refugee camps. The police Buddy Bear system comes to mind as a perfect example of what even a small stuffed toy can mean to a child that has lost everything in life changing trauma. I know it is not the same as the needed medical supplies, but sometimes comfort to a child can not be measured in a teaspoon.
If you have a blog or a website or even just an extensive e-mail list or twitter following I encourage you to encourage others to join together and help the people of Haiti get the care and support they so desperately need.
