British Columbian donors sponsor 1,610 Haiti children

Generous British Columbians have so far contributed $1,042,648 towards World Vision's efforts to support the victims of the devastating earthquake in Haiti.

Donors in B.C. sponsor 1,610 children in Haiti through World Vision. Staff in Haiti are working around the clock to ensure the safety of these children.

"We are honored and amazed by the generosity of British Columbians," said World Vision Canada's Director of Specialized Marketing, Caroline Riseboro. "The money raised goes a long way to help children and their families in Haiti find food, shelter, medicine and safety in a time when all of those things have been taken away from them."

Across Canada, World Vision has raised more than $6.14 million in its relief efforts for Haiti. World Vision seeks to raise $10 million to help the millions of people who have been affected by this disaster.

To make a donation through World Vision, Canadians can text 'WORLD' to 45678, or join World Vision's "HAITI RELIEF $10 (OR MORE) CHALLENGE" on Facebook. Canadians can also call to donate through World Vision at 1-800-268-5528, or visit worldvision.ca.
