URGENT APPEAL FOR HAITI EARTHQUAKE

West Sussex Teachers Association encourage you to support the international mobilization of humanitarian and reconstruction assistance to Haiti following Tuesday’s devastating earthquake. The earthquake is reported to have left over 50,000 people dead. Many more trapped under the rubble of collapsed building, including schools, have not been accounted for.

Education International has set up a fund to support colleagues at the Haiti teaching union, Confédération National des Enseignants d’Haïti, to help teachers, students and communities rebuild their lives in order to return to work and school. Access more information via:

The TUC has also set up the TUC Aid – Haiti Appeal as part of a major international effort to assist with this appalling human tragedy.
