Introducing Rita Kuntz: Her Dream Became REALITY!
Posted on 21. Apr, 2010 by admin in Law of Attraction Means Action
Over the past 3 years I have been to Haiti four times. The first time I went to Haiti, I was so SHOCKED at the poverty! Each time that I have gone back, my heart continues to cry out “what can I do to help the people of Haiti?”
One of the greatest needs in Haiti is the need for safe and secure housing. Even before the earthquake of February 2010, the need for housing was critical for many Haitians. Not only has the earthquake destroyed many homes in the Port Au Prince area, but also three hurricanes slammed Haiti in 2008 and resulted in major damage throughout the country.
Many of the homes in Haiti are made up of sticks, grass, mud, cardboard and corrugated tin. The majority of homes have only one room that accommodates a large family. The homes do not have running water, electricity or indoor bathrooms. The people of Haiti have little protection from rain, wind and the cool evening temperatures. Human beings should not have to live in these conditions!
Habitat for Humanity has been working in Haiti for 26 years, and since the earthquake has stepped up their efforts to provide temporary shelter and permanent homes in Haiti. They have designed core houses that are earthquake resistant. According to their website “Core houses are small, but well-constructed and durable, permanent structures that provide adequate living space and sanitation facilities for the average Haitian family of five.”
The post earthquake cost in US dollars is between $4,000 and $6,000. To see a short video of these homes, go to http://www.habitat.org/videogallery/FlaVideo/VidPlayer640x480.aspx?video=Haiti_CoreHouse.f4v
As I continue to ask “what can I do to make a difference”, one answer is to raise money to build as many of these homes through Habitat for Humanity as I can. Elizabeth Cobb and I have set up a page on Habitat for Humanity’s website and are looking for 1,000,000 people to donate $1 or more for building the core houses.
We are reaching out to all of our contacts through all of the various social media and asking for everyone to pass on the word in their social networks. Though 1,000,000 people sounds like a lot of people, if we ALL do SOMETHING, we can improve the lives of so many families in Haiti.
Please go to http://tinyurl.com/y5v6vot and make a donation of $1 or more.
Thank you for joining us in this effort!
