Highlander sends its heart and hopes to the thousands of individuals and families who continue to struggle for survival after the devastating earthquake and aftershocks struck Haiti these past few weeks. We wish to recognize and support our global community of organizers and human rights activists who have been responding to the urgency of this situation. We urge our Highlander community to continue to act. Given that the damage will not be overcome in a few weeks, months, or even a year, sustainable humanitarian support in the form of donations, volunteer relief efforts and supplies are essential throughout the entire rebuilding process.
