Yes, it’s Sankranthi today, but with what’s going on in Haiti right now, I really don’t feel like celebrating much of anything.  I remember the 2004 tsunami and how I cried for the people in my homeland and for those from our neighboring countries.  I can’t begin to comprehend the anguish the Haitian community is experiencing right now – especially the children.

In the face of such a tragedy, it’s difficult to fathom how any kind of contribution, in-kind, monetary or otherwise, can really help – but we have to start somewhere.

Gnaana has chosen to make a donation to Save The Children’s Haiti Earthquake Children in Emergency Fund.  Save the Children is providing immediate lifesaving assistance, such as food, water, shelter and child-friendly spaces.

To the children in Haiti, we say to you:   Please keep your faith and look towards the future.  The sun always rises, and so too shall you.

Happy Sankranthi (Pongal) to our readers.
