Russian Union of Scouts is going to take part in fund-raising activity for Haitian relief organized by BPSA – USA (WFIS – NA). Here is a part of their information letter:

«Scouters: It seems in this day and age, everywhere you turn, people are always asking you for money. Sometimes, however, the cause is worth it. This is the case today.
We have an opportunity to make a difference for a neighboring country in need. I am asking all Scouts and Scouters of WFIS-NA to join with me and send $10 (or whatever you can) to assist in the relief of Haiti. Lets make it simple.

BPSA will handle all contributions and forward to the Red Cross in the name of the World Federation of Independent Scouting.

I had thought of designing a patch for recognition…I've decided against it. All funds (100%) will go to Haitian relief! Recognition will be in the form of placing your name in the next edition of the Pathfinder Magazine (or Announymous if you prefer).

I would like to send on February 22nd, in honor of the founders birthday. Therefore…please send all contributions before February 15th.

$10 is not much…but together, we can make a difference! Our goal is $1000.

If any of your units do something as a fund raiser or to collect needed supplies…let me know. Send a picture if you can. We'll try to get that in the Pathfinder also!.

This is our opportunity to provide meaningful service. That is what Scouts do. Please pass this request on to all of your units and individual scouts and scouters…every dollar will help!

Помни:

1966 г., землятресение в в ССР Таджикистан, Ташкент, почти весь город был разрушен, но цензура не дала советским гражданам узнать о том, что где то рядом с ними миллионы людей находились на грани выживания. А помощь тогда бы очень пригодилась. История циклична, и через 40 лет уже в другом конце земного шара горе пришло в дома гаитян, вернее в их жалкие подобия и развалины. Но в наших силах не дать истории повториться, и мы в силах помочь нуждающимся. Потому что кто знает, кто завтра окажется на их месте. Может быть ты… может быть я…
