Gamers Help Haiti

I work at a French-language university and just spent the week reeling along with our 65 Haitian students. The university set up an emergency center where each of them eventually got the chance to contact their families, counseling if they needed it, and the resources to keep afloat financially even as their banks collapsed. On my level, we're organizing benefit events and setting up a long distance phone line for them. One student lost a sister, the only casualty in those 60-some immediate families, so there is that. They say the disaster set the country back 20 years, and frank Haitians will tell you the country was already 20 years behind on every possible infrastructure.

There are many ways to help - through the Red Cross, Right to Play and Doctors Without Borders (the creation of one of my university's alumni) - but here's one that fits this blog's bracket: DriveThruRPG will match your 5/10$ to Doctors Without Borders. Whether you do it as a "gamer" or as a simple citizen of the world, I hope you'll help.
