"As a people, we Americans are at our best when we are helping one another and people in far away countries." Eric Holdeman We Americans have big hearts. When disasters strike we want to help. The need can be right next door, down the street, or across the world, but we step up and help.

Help comes from financial donations and those who are willing and able volunteer their time and skills to the impacted area. Haiti is only the latest example of our outpouring of care for a nation devastated by disaster.

I wish somehow we could tap that reservoir of good will and action to do things in their own communities before a disaster strikes. There are some who do this now via their volunteer activities however, their numbers are few when compared to the need that exists.

To all those who gave or are yet to give to the Haitian disaster reliefâ€"Thank you!
