No doubt you’ve heard by now of the devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti this week.
If you’ve visited Google.com since then you’ll see they’ve given up some home page real estate to highlight the tragic event. The home page now features the following sentence:
“Information, resources, and ways you can help survivors of the Haiti earthquake.”
The sentence links to an information page about how the public can help disaster relief in Haiti, complete with donate buttons for UNICEF and CARE, processed by Google checkout.
As well as using their popularity to spread the word, Google has announced they will be donating $1 million to the relief fund.
Not to be outdone, Yahoo and Bing also feature Haiti on their home pages. Yahoo highlights an article about texting to support Haiti as their lead story and also includes a small link for donation options. Bing features two small links labeled “How you can help Haiti” and “Get the latest earthquake news” below the fold, at the very bottom of the page.
If you want to donate to Haiti disaster relief, you can visit the Google link above or contact one of the many charitable organizations in the region directly.
thanks Google and other who helped to raise fund after affected people of devastating earthquake. we are praying for lost souls and compassion to those people who lost their family and friends.
