What can you do to help Haiti's survivors of Hurricane Matthew?

You can start with http://foodfuel.blogspot.com that is doing a fundraiser for three coastal communities in Leogane, Grand-Goave, and Petit-Goave.

Donate whatever amount you want to

Another great organization I will refer you to is http://christianfriendshipministries.org. It has a superb US-based board of directors who are reaching out to the needy ones in Northern Haiti, especially Pignon. CFM leaders are thinking about reaching out to the victims of Matthew in the southern part of Haiti. You can eventually travel with their teams or contribute to their current relief project. The more funds they can collect, the faster they can go. They have lots of experience of traveling to Haiti, mostly in the North. We know that they will go wherever the needs take them. So be part of their next team!

iPhone Service in Haiti: Continue to Use iPhone There or Use local Plan Phone?

Question:"I will be moving to Les Cayes, Haiti for about one year this May. I have an iPhone with a shared family plan with my mom and sister. Do you know if I'll get service there with my phone or would it be better to buy a new phone there to use or get a different plan, etc. Please do not just tell me to check ATT's website, I have done that already and couldn't find the information I needed."

Answer: Yes, your iphone will get service anywhere you go, but get ready to pay high fees if you are not on the international plan with AT&T. You should be able to discuss this issue with your AT&T clerk. Make sure you get coverage for ATT's international plan if you feel you have to use it while living there. Based on my own experience, it will be better and cost effective to get a phone when you arrive in Haiti. If cost is not the problem for you, then keep using the iPhone there. If you want to have more money in your pockets, get a local phone. Then, sign up with Rebtel.com
