Cornell Aiding Haiti Campus-Wide Events

Dear fellow Cornellians,

Many of the student organizations and clubs on campus are coming together
to aid the Haiti relief effort, mourn the loss of life, and keep the
Haitian community in our thoughts and prayers in the wake of the terrible
catastrophe. The following is a list of events and initiatives that will
take place over the next few months on campus. We urge you, in any way you
can, to get involved in the effort.

All the best,

The Student Assembly

While MEDLIFE's is traditionally involved with sending student abroad to
medical brigades, we are now focusing on disaster relief in Haiti. On
Friday, February 5th from 10:00am till 5:00pm, a table will be set up on
Ho Plaza, asking for donations. It would be much appreciated if anyone can
encourage people to pass through Ho Plaza and contribute/donate to the
cause. All monetary gains will be donated to Partners in Health. If anyone
is willing to help, there is much to do: baking, tabling, making
signs/pamphlets, and talking to pedestrians about our cause. Please email
Jimmy Lam at jL948@cornell.edu if you would like to volunteer.

Haiti Country Night: Personal accounts of earthquake survivors, Haitian
history, and Haitian food.
Saturday, 02/06/2010 @ Holland International Living Center (Main Lounge)

The Holland International Living Center will be organizing on February 6th
a Haiti Country Night. Through this event members of the Cornell community
would have the opportunity to learn about Haitian history and obtain a
better understanding of the struggles the Haitian people had to overcome
throughout the years: during the event students that survived the
earthquake will be invited to give personal accounts of their experiences.
Through this event the community would also get the opportunity to learn
about the other disasters that have impoverished the country throughout
the years, about Haitian culture and about Haitian food.

Big Red Relief Haiti Benefit Concert
Sunday, 04/11/2010 @ Barton Hall

Big Red Relief hosts Cornell’s largest annual fundraiser by putting on a
huge benefit concert, we started in 2004 and raised over $10,000 for the
victims of the Indian Ocean Tsunami. Although we had already started
planning the concert for another worthy cause, the severity of the
situation in Haiti has compelled us to join in on the campus wide
initiative for Haiti Relief. The concert will be on April 11th in Barton
Hall, we are hoping to trump our previous record and show just how
committed Cornell is to reaching out to those in need. There are numerous
ways to get involved with the planning and production process. Email
bigredrelief@gmail.com with any questions, you can also check out our
facebook page and our newly designed website. Look out for updates about
student and outside performers and make sure to save the date!
