Help Haitian Orphans while learning about Herbs
By Marilyn Zink
I have been following the recent news reports about how the earthquake has devastated Haiti.
I was always struck by the children, especially those who have lost their homes and parents. Children who are literally living in the street.
According to recent news reports, there are up to 1 million children who are left vulnerable to abuse and trafficking.
What’s really disconcerting is that desperate people are storming orphanages which are targets for food, water and medical supplies. One orphanage came under attack when it was stormed by 20 armed men. Fortunately, security guards drove them off.
Some desperate people are even trying to sell children for as little as $50.
Of course, that’s not right and it’s illegal. So these children in orphanages need our help now.
One way to help these children and benefit from ongoing herbal education is to become a member of Herbguide.
The site has exclusive information on all aspects of herbs such as: herbs for health, using herbs in recipes, gardening with herbs, making herbal crafts, herbs in aromatherapy and herbal education.
The site can be tried out for free and then a portion of membership fees go towards supporting orphanages in Haiti. It has been a stated mission of Herbguide to help orphans before the earthquake happened.
Now it’s just makes sense to reach out to do that now. It’s important to note that this help would be ongoing as the children will continue to need help long after the media buzz has died down.
