Zanmi-Milwaukee

Since moving back to Milwaukee in July, it has been my goal to create a way for Milwaukee's young people to exchange ideas and information on the organizations, events, and people that are working to make a difference in this city. With the events in Haiti on Tuesday, I have decided to finally get myself in gear and start by sharing ways to help with the Earthquake relief efforts. As I find out more, I will share events and drives in Milwaukee. Zanmi means friend or supporter in Kreyol. Haiti is a nation that has been through so much and we need to share our support. If anyone knows of events going on here, or organizations you believe could use the support, please share.

Also, it is important to remember that unfortunately, relief is not going to be quick, and this is going to be going on for a long time. Do not let anyone forget in the months and weeks and years to come! Haiti has been pushed aside and ignored and taken advantage of for far too long.
