		<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[One of the top reasons people give for making a donation is simply the fact that, “I was asked!” It is natural to give on emotion, or to respond to a solicitation from a trusted friend or family member. It is even more common to give in reaction to crisis or disaster. But all of these methods lack specifics; they lack a plan. When we give in this way we often give small amounts to many different organizations. We don’t have time to track every small gift and we accept the good feelings we earn through giving and leave it at that. These characteristics have everything to do with the disappointment and frustration that can accompany charitable giving.]]></description>
