58. "This morning in our class we
discussed the crisis in Haiti. Our
conclusion was to all rally around
Concern Worldwide and help raise
money for them. Our goal is to raise
$1,000 by Monday January 18th (5
days from now). This evening we
have raised over $800. That is a
testament to social media’s power.
In one day, a group of people
changed course on their project
and then a body of people united
to aid the cause. This has truly been
a blessing and amazing
experience!"
