Helping Haiti

Haiti may be a very faraway country but from few moments we were worried after knowing the news of the earthquake because we believed that one of our relatives working there  but thank God it turned out that he is in Tahiti still I am very sad for the death of 24 Jordanian Peace keeper there , May Allah bless their souls and bring patience to their families , they were not a source of pride for Jordan but for the whole Arab and Muslim Nation.
Now for those interested to help the people of Haiti in their disaster , here are couple of links which can be useful :
1) UNICEF International
2) The UNICEF USA 
3) American Red
4) Facebook Groups
5) Islamic Relief
Some people why I am doing this , well last year I read a terrifying report about the poor in Haiti who eat pies made of mud and I look to them now in the TV and in photos and I remember our people in shanty towns and those who lost their homes and families in 1992 earthquake. I know that if God forbids we suffer something similar in Egypt , I would like the whole world to remember me. Haiti is very unlucky , it is not only the political instability but also its nature instability that following it

    Have any of these extremely wealthy Arab nations pledged anything to the crisis? Money? Personnel?

    This tragedy needs more than words.
