PLEASE HELP AND SUPPORT HAITI

The Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies (AAADS) is partnering with the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) to help focus efforts on awareness about and fundraising for Haiti. We are planning a forum and other events over the next few weeks. However, Haiti’s greatest need at the moment is financial. Please check the AAADS website for more information on how to contribute to organizations as part of the AAADS collective, and to learn more about upcoming collaborative events. Please also check the CLACS web site for more information about upcoming CLACS events, and information about specific organizations to which you can donate. We are grateful to each and every one of you for all your efforts to help our sister country during this time.
