The thoughts, hopes and prayers of all of us at Luxury Travel Magazine are with the people of Haiti and the organizations working hard to provide relief in the aftermath of the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Port-au-Prince on January 12, 2010.

Assistance efforts have been crippled by the loss of infrastructure accompanying the earthquake. Please join recovery efforts mobilizing around the world to assist earthquake victims. Your donation will help disaster victims rebuild their lives and their communities.

As we are in the travel industry, we consider ourselves members of a global community. One of the members of this global community is now in dire need of assistance. If you would like to support relief efforts, please donate to the American Red Cross International Response Fund, or visit any of these other relief organizations' websites for more information on contributing to their efforts:

Save the Children, Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders, Care, Unicef, MercyCorps, World Vision International
