update #1

thanks for all the responses and concerns. here's some information:

1) Mandy and I will be traveling to Haiti on Monday (1/18) with three others. This trip has been planned for months. If a plane can land, we will go.
2) The local orphanage that we work with and where we headquarter the nutrition program has basically become a relief agency. They went to Port Au Prince to day with medicine, water and food. This means that they need funding and supplies to continue these efforts, and to keep themselves afloat.
3) I will be hearing more about specifics tonight.
4) go to www.canaanorphanage.org and look for the "support" tab in the upper left hand corner. if you'd like to give toward these efforts. Before we go, we will withdraw the cash from this fund/account and take it with us and use it to help in any way possible. if you have any questions about how these funds will be used, contact christopher.hlavacek@gmail.com

I'll try to use this blog as the primary means of communication, please check it, re-check it and tweet the link...
