The Roosevelt Islander posts an impassioned plea for help from Jim Luce of Orphans International for their kids in Haiti where Hurricane Gustav recently wreaked havoc and destruction.

OIWW:

"Please call Jim Luce directly at (212) 755-7285 or at (212) 755-7550 to donate by credit card, the fastest way to get us funds.We must raise $4,000 over the next 48 hours to meet our obligations there."

New Orphans International Interns Blog

I had read on line and in the WIRE that Orphans International would be bringing a number of Summer Interns to Roosevelt Island. This evening I found that a new blog has been created, to be written it appears by the interns, and from the first post it promises to give another window into the work of this wonderful organization which is based on our island.
