This week we want to encourage our readers to take time out of their busy juggle and remember those in far more dire circumstances. International coalitions of governments and aid organizations are working hard to save lives in Haiti. Many law firms have joined that effort and we encourage you to do the same.

Here are some relief groups:

InterAction has a list of agencies responding and how to donate to them.
To donate $10 to the American Red Cross, text Haiti to 90999. The
amount will be added to your next phone bill.
To donate $5 to Wyclef Jean’s Haitian Yele charity, text 501501. The
money will be added to your next phone bill.
To find out how to help the International Rescue Committee, visit www.theIRC.org or call toll free, 1-877-REFUGEE.
To donate through Oxfam’s emergency appeal, visit www.oxfam.org.uk.
Partners in Health is providing medical care to those in need in Port-au-Prince. Visit the site act.pih.org/earthquake to make a donation.
