Although the earthquake in Haiti is now past, the process of recovery and rebuilding the country will continue for months and years. Many more lives will be lost if aid agencies are unable to continue supporting the Haitian people. STC-Montreal encourages you to give generously.

The various agencies operating in Haiti have said that the most useful form of aid is not in the form of physical supplies, which are hard to coordinate and transport, but in the form of money. If you are unsure where to make your donation, here are some suggestions:

• The Red Cross
• Médecins Sans Frontières
• The Montreal Gazette has a comprehensive list of agencies that are taking donations for Haiti. if you prefer different charities.
• Montreal blogger Fagstein has posted a list of activities in the Montreal area over the next week related to raising funds for Haiti.

The BBC has an interactive map describing how aid is getting to Haiti.

Some of the most dramatic photos of the devastation in Haiti have been posted at The Big Picture from Boston.com: The day of the earthquake, two days later, and six days later.
