I’d like to ask you to chip in a dollar or two to help Benny Salas on his trip to Haiti. Benny is someone who has given back to his own community in many ways – you can learn more about him at bennysalas.com.

Here’s a picture of Benny with me at CrisisCamp Miami, an event I helped organize back in January after the earthquake struck Haiti. Benny came down and spent an entire Saturday giving his time, energy and brain-power with about 100 other techies and supporters. That’s just one example.

Benny also chipped in to help Shaun King get tents donated, transported across the U.S., and shipped to Haiti in advance of the rainy season there.

From what I gather, he’s going to Haiti on a Mission of sorts, religious in nature, I’m not exactly sure. I don’t exactly know what his religious beliefs are, and I don’t have to in order to support him – and I hope you don’t, either. All I know is that he’s going to Haiti with a group to try and do some good. Help him try do it in his way, just as he’s helped and is helping the world and the community unconditionally and without question.


So chip in!…He doesn’t even need much! : )
