Something Good About the Catholic Church? From Haiti?

The folks in Haiti still need help.

Maybe you've read this before, but:

"...I prepared a list of charities and their contact information - Catholic and otherwise - for another blog, along with a regularly-updated list of posts I've written on what's going on in Haiti:

• 'Haiti: About the Earthquake, Relief, and Related Topics'
  • I've put Catholic charitable organizations in their own category

That page also has a list of posts in this, and two other blogs, about Haiti...."

The central Minnesota diocese I'm in raised about a quarter-million dollars a couple months ago, earmarked for Haiti.

It's nice to see what's happening, where some of it's being used:

• "Easter Hope in Haiti"
  Religion & Ethics News Weekly, PBS (April 2, 2010)

The article is a transcript of an interview, with photos, human interest, and this remarkable statement:

"...Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is helping lead humanitarian efforts on the ground. CRS camp coordinator Niek de Goeij says getting food and water to the people has been a logistical nightmare...."
(PBS)

The 'camp' is a golf course that's been refitted as a place for refugees from the quake to live while rebuilding goes on.

A tip of the hat to CatholicRelief, on Twitter, for the heads-up on this article.
