As you may or may not be aware Viaduct continues to give a percentage of our eftpos leasing revenue to charity either directly or through eftpos support.  The staff have decided we should do more for Haiti as the devastation and the issues continue to grow.  We have started a fund with $500 and we will add $5 for every ten rolls of paper we sell till the end of February. So buy your consumables through us and you will be helping World Vision and the great work they are doing.

World Vision is now collecting funds as the international relief organisation mobilises its response to the powerful 7.3 magnitude earthquake in Haiti. Latest reports from World Vision staff in Haiti suggest the capital Port-Au-Prince has been devastated and that the need will be great. World Vision staff member Crystal Penner in Haiti said: “Many people are without shelter and thus water.”

“There are goods prepositioned in various locations across the country,” explained Crystal. “The challenge will be accessing those supplies and providing swift transport of the supplies to those in need, particularly since the airport has been damaged. World Vision Haiti is quite experienced in emergency response. It is a country vulnerable to hurricanes and flooding and so has conducted several responses.”
