 Active 20-30 US & Canada provides young adults with an opportunity for personal growth, friendships and leadership development while improving the quality of life for the special needs children in their community.
"One never stands so tall as when kneeling to help a child"
Esteemed Members of Active 20-30,
As many of you are aware, a tremendous tragedy struck our neighboring country of Haiti earlier this week. Here is a report from our Past National President Jennifer Norman who currently lives in the Dominican Republic about 6 hours from Port Au Prince:
The reports we have coming in are not good. Take 911 and multiply it by 10,000 and you will have the amount of devastation that has happened. Missing family members, deceased men, women, and children in the street, no hospitals, 800 doctors with Doctors without Borders are missing, UN headquarters has collapsed and the Presidential Palace is destroyed. There is no fire department, there are no hospitals, no grocery stores, barely a police department, no construction equipment (being donated at this moment), etc. People are digging by hand to find survivors. To call this situation bad is an understatement. I don't think our world has known such devastation. The Active 20-30 clubs have started a drive for basic necessities. Mostly money is needed in which to buy supplies here in the DR and will be driven to Haiti.
