That's great that you had a place to go volunteer help Ali. Better that they didn't need the help right then because they had too many! That is a rare indeed.

We're raising money all over the place here. The disaster in Haiti definitely brings a lot of our problems into perspective doesn't it? I have been sitting here trying to find coupons to use at the grocery to save more money and then I turn on CNN and hear more of the personal stories and see the devastation and it makes me feel ridiculous for trying to save a buck. I decided right then to make this a personal challenge for myself. Save as much money as possible with my coupons and store sales and whatever I save I am turning around to donate. My church is collecting money for World Vision. If you haven't heard of it, they are an organization that specializes in distributing food and clean water to some of the most impoverished areas of the world. They were already doing great work in Haiti (recovery efforts from the multiple hurricanes) and have ramped it up to deal with the disaster.

How about everyone here making a challenge to themselves to donate x amount of time or money or both to relief efforts? What do you say guys?
