>From the list owner: Those who have been subscribers to the Tech-VI list for
even a short time know that I try to keep the postings to this list highly
focused on technology with an emphasis on blindness assistive technology.
However, I am making an exception in this case due to the disastrous
conditions in Haiti as a result of the recent earthquake. This article from
Cnet contains several organizations accepting donations to provide
assistance.

Haiti earthquake death toll rising as tropical storm looms. How to help -
CNET

A 7.2-magnitude earthquake hit Haiti over the weekend.

Haiti is reeling, and things look likely to get worse. Over the weekend, a
7.2-magnitude earthquake struck the Caribbean country, killing nearly 1,300
people

Haiti is preparing for Tropical Depression Grace

which could lead to flash floods and mudslides.

As rescuers continue to search for survivors of the earthquake, the tropical
cyclone could make it more difficult to locate them, to bring in supplies
and to provide medical care. Haiti can use all the help it can get, whether
it's cash donations, medical supplies, water or food. 

Before you pull out your wallet and enter your credit card details, make
