The world stands up for Haiti

In the last month and a half celebrities, charities, individuals and even rakeback poker sites around the world have been generating millions of dollars to help the disaster stricken people of Haiti. With internal strife caused by looting and rioting adding to the devastating consequences of the initial earthquake, the tiny and poverty laden Caribbean island is badly in need of this help.
President Obama was quick to pledge the full support of the United States of America and offer "the deep condolences and unwavering support" of the American people. The president continued: "Our thoughts and prayers are also with the many Haitian Americans around our country who do not yet know the fate of their families and loved ones back home." Americans, moved by their president’s address, have donated millions of dollars to help provide aid and regenerate the devastated country.
People from as disparate places as New Zealand, England and Madagascar have been putting their hands in their pockets, organising fundraising events and showing their support for the people of Haiti. A seven year old boy called Charlie Simpson who lives in London was so horrified at the suffering he saw that he told his parents he wanted to do something. They suggested riding around the park and a month on Charlie is still receiving money. The young lad has managed to raise over £150,000, just a little in excess of his target of £500.
Stranger still as more details of the disaster started appearing in world news, rakeback poker sites globally stood up as one and instigated a series of tournaments and promotions to not only encourage its players to play and donate but also matching donations out of their own back pocket. Doyle Brunson’s site Doyle’s Room were one of the first to show their support for Haiti with the old timer stating in his blog “All you see on the TV news channels are about the earthquakes in Haiti. It is a real disaster area and America is trying to help and the online poker sites are no exception. Come play with us and help some unfortunate people.” All tournament fees were donated to the people of Haiti.
These often maligned software programmes that rake away players money for staggering profits have shown their face and their personality in helping out this destitute island. Millions of people around the world have reacted positively to this tragic disaster so it is hard to highlight the effects of just a few but the willingness of the poker community to stand up together has to be admired.
