We have plenty of ways to help Haiti

I write so many things that in a way or another have to do with my way to see the world: my passion for motor sport, my sensations as citizen, my feelings in poems; that perhaps it turns to be kind of selfish...
Usually what moves me to write is what I see on television, the reality that I experience or the emotions that I feel. Haiti's thing hurts me, seems incredible and scares me. It hurts me to see the despair of people killing each other - literally - for food, as going back to the cavern's pre-historic times. It seems incredible that could happen such an awful tragedy in such advanced time, where in some countries millionaire people bluff about being able to travel to the moon. It scares me that if we continue torturing our planet earth, we'll keep on suffering the consequences.

Sadly I'm far away to help personally, without telling my lack of medical or rescue knowledge, but technology helped me to feel a little more useful giving. And I thought I could reuse that technology to make others feel happy by doing a good act.
Here I try to compile all the information I could find on the web about help to Haiti from serious and well-known organizations, for we all could help each other and help ourselves feel good.
