Live Concert for Haiti Relief to Air February 5th.

Many of us thought that the "Hope For Haiti" telethon & concert that raised money for Haiti earthquake relief would be the final big effort by R&B artists to help out, but we were wrong; BET Networks and a number of entertainers are getting ready to put on another, similar event. Mary J. Blige, Drake, Justin Bieber, Keri Hilson, Robin Thicke and Monica are among the artists scheduled to perform at the "SOS Saving OurSelves - Help for Haiti" show taking place at 8 p.m. Eastern time in Miami, Florida on Feb. 5, 2010. The two-hour telethon, which will be hosted Sean "Diddy" Combs, Queen Latifah and Pharrell, airs live on BET, MTV, VH1 and Centric (the channel formerly known as BET Jazz). It'll also be streamed live on bet.com. Proceeds will aid various organizations including Yele Haiti, CARE, Project Medishare and Children's Safe Drinking Water.

Now that the media and majority of the groundwork helpers are leaving the island, it is now that we should start to give what we can, The World Food Program is still accepting donations, so is Yele and all the other organisations, please keep Haiti in your heart, thoughts and prayers, as well as give what you can, if you can.

ANSWER THE CALL: Let's join hands to help Haiti

Yesterday a 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti.
This will not be a long report, as you see the word earthquake your first thought should be to HELP, as it could've been where you are, or where you are from.

I urge you to text YELE to 501501 and $5 will be donated to the earthquake relief fund.
If you cannot donate money, you can always donate food, clothes, toiletries, you know..stuff that you cannot live without in your everyday life, that you wouldnt want someone else to do without.

If you are on twitter, please follow or contact [ @NateErickson ]. He launched a clothing drive to benefit victims of yesterday's quake, again, please donate the clothes you are not wearing, what's the point of holding on to them? If you're trying to contact him on twitter and he's not replying to you, you can always email him: haitiquakerelief@gmail.com Im sure he will reply.

If you are in Jamaica, director Jay Will collecting relief supplies for Haiti. If you can donate please call 8768918934.

You can also visit www.redcross.org,  www.yele.org or http://www.unicef.org/ to find out what you can do to help.
