There’s a ticker on top of every page on YouTube that links to disaster relief via Oxfam. Not to be outdone, Google has created a disaster relief page, containing the most recent news about Haiti and information on its hospitals. You can easily donate to UNICEF and/or CARE, and SMS shortcodes are provided; text “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross and text “YELE” to 501501 to donate $5 to Yele Haiti’s efforts.
