U.S First Lady Michelle Obama has brought the clout of her office to benefit the traumatized citizens of Haiti. The taped public service announcement which appeals to Americans to donate to help the victims of the devastating earthquake in Haiti is being broadcast on cable and some regular tv station.
She said in the 30-second ad that “The images from Haiti are heartbreaking… Homes, hospitals and schools destroyed. Families searching for loved ones. Parents trying to feed their children. But we can all do something. We can help the American Red Cross as it delivers the food, water and medicine that can save lives.”
Mrs. Obama is requesting donations of $10 by texting “Haiti” to 90999 or by calling call 1-800-Red Cross

USAfrica Publisher Chido Nwangwu calls for “some light and help in the dark days of Haiti”
Houston, Jan 12, 2010: “Merely viewing the images/video of distress and decimation of life and environment, Haiti’s
shattering earthquake of January 12, 2010 and its aftershock seem like a filmic creation of a fictional, gharish visitation and enactment of armageddon! But it is so sadly, painfully real. The litany of death and despoliation. The dust and carnage and blood! More dust and destruction and more deaths, and more blood….
USAfrica multimedia networks and USAfrica Inc join the world in highlighting the tragic events and the quest for relief and reconstruction at the oldest republic of persons of African descent.
We, therefore, call on all persons, governments, organizations and business to support and donate to offer some light and help in the dark days of Haiti. By Chido Nwangwu, Founder & Publisher, USAfrica multimedia networks, Houston, Texas.
