		<description><![CDATA[This week USAID, the federal agency spearheading the US Government’s efforts in Haiti, released an updated report highlighting its current efforts in the Caribbean nation.  If nothing else, the report only seems to underscore the monumental task that remains ahead in rebuilding the country and lives of the earthquake’s survivors. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you haven't given to help Haiti, it isn't too late. Whether it is one of these organizations or another one that is doing great work, now is the time to think about setting up a recurring donation to provide aid. Now is the time to start thinking about long-term recovery, reconstruction and rebuilding. The tiny island nation needs our support now (and in the coming months), more than ever.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By giving wisely, we  help organizations improve their efficiency and their effectiveness. Nonprofits, especially in tough economic times, continually try to do more with less. The more we as donors are able to ease their burdens through responding to their needs rather than our wants, the more organizations will be able to focus on the task at hand - improving people, communities and lives.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today’s blog post was written by Steve Reiher, VP of Marketing &#38; Development for Operation Kids.

		<description><![CDATA[“Thanksgiving” and “relative” in the same sentence may conjure up images of a crazy uncle, or the in-laws or any of the many family holiday scenarios that provide such fertile ground for comedy writers.  This is not that kind of relative or thanksgiving I am referring to.
