On Tuesday, January 12th, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the capital of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Across the nation, organizations are gathering supplies and money in effort to help the country’s people who continue to feel the aftermath of the earthquake.
Steve Brown, composition teacher and adviser of the club, “C the need,” is just one person that believes that if we all pitch in, we can help to make Haiti a more livable place.
“We have put up posters, handed out fliers, made announcements, and made a bulletin board in front of the library to help get the word out,” Mr. Brown said.
Mr. Brown’s goal is to collect money from GJHS students, and send it to the country for immediate relief. “If every GJHS student donates 20 dollars to the cause, we will be left with a significant amount to send to Haiti for relief,” Mr. Brown said.
Students can donate money to Haiti by taking it to the LEAG room, the library, or to the main office.
