How You Can Help the People of Haiti

Canadian Anglicans are offering support to the earthquake response via
Anglicans in Canada International (ACT) through the Primate's World
Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF). PWRDF has sent an initial
grant of $15,000 for ACT's Rapid Response Program, an ecumenical
effort that is made up of churches and humanitarian organizations.
ACT members - Christian Aid, Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe, Lutheran
World Federation, and Interchurch Organisation for Development
Corporation - are already on the ground providing relief in Haiti, and
being funded by PWRDF and other member churches thanks to the
generous donations from Anglicans in Canada. Additional donations to
Haiti relief will increase PWRDF's grant to ACT International.
Donations made by individual Canadians over the period of January 12 -
February 12, 2010, will be matched by the Government of Canada
through the CIDA-managed Haiti Earthquake Relief fund.

We will access these funds in cooperation with other Canadian churches
as we have in the past. Please watch for updates on PWRDF's response to
the Haiti earthquake at http://www.pwrdf.org/.

Donations can be made in the following ways:

On-Line
Go to http://www.canadahelps.org and type in PWDRF, which will take you to
the donation page where you can designate "Haiti earthquake."

By Phone
For credit card donations contact Jennifer Brown, 1-866-308-7973 or
directly at 416-924-9192, ext: 320

By Mail
Please make cheques payable to "PWRDF", mark them for "Haiti earthquake",
and send them to:
