The website is up!

One of the most exciting yet challenging aspects to running a campaign like 100 Beds for Haiti is the collaborative effort of all the team members, and in true form to the our mission to deliver hospital beds to Hoptial Sacre Coeur (HSC) our team is scattered around the United States and the world. When we first envisioned this campaign, keeping Haiti, improving health services, and meeting a tangible goal, we knew we needed a website that would really reflect who we are and what we have set out to accomplish.

From our initial three person meeting at Think Coffee on 4th ave, NYC, we knew we were limited in our own knowledge of how to build a website. Tapping into our network of experienced and concerned friends and colleagues, we were able to build a website using the technical expertise and creative visions of people located in New York, Boston, and San Francisco to voluntarily build this site, giving us their time and resources to host the site.

As a grassroots campaign, we also established our method of mobilization and fundraising: building a team dedicated to volunteering their time and reaching out into their own personal networks is one of our core assets to spreading more awareness and delivering on our goal to send 100 hospital beds to HSC.

Happily and gratefully we've launched the site today! www.100bedsforhaiti.com will host all the information on what the 100 Beds for Haiti Campaign is, our mission, our partners Center for the Rural Development of Milot and the Hopital Sacre Coeur and most importantly where you can go to donate and give your feedback on the campaign! We will use this blog to update you with all aspects of the campaign including fundraising, campaign news, and reports from the ground in Haiti.

A big thanks to Philipp, Scott, Joanna, Brock, Evan, Shane, and the rest of the 100 Beds for Haiti Campaign! Check out www.100bedsforhaiti.com to learn more about the entire team!
