Haiti, Charities, and the Carnival of HR
This past week Michael VanDervort of Human Race Horses came to me with a great idea for a special Carnival of HR where we HR pros can do what we do best and to help do our part for Haiti. Michael is asking us to help vet the various charities out there asking for our aid right now in Haiti.
Here’s what he’s asking us to do:
1. Select a charity that is soliciting donations for aid in Haiti
2. Apply your HR and social media skills by doing a “background check” on that organization. Here is a great place to start your research.
3. Write up your findings, positive or negative, and post them on your blog no later than January 26th.
4. Send Michael your links, and he will aggregate them into a special HR Carnival for Haiti here on January 27th. You can email your submissions to him at michael.vandervort@gmail.com.
Don’t want to do a background check? Then profile a charity anyway or simply share your thoughts on the tragedy in Haiti. Here’s an opportunity for HR Bloggers to do the one thing they do best: blog. Please add your voice to this effort, and don’t forget about the regularly scheduled Carnival of HR that goes live this Wednesday and is hosted by always amazing Lisa Rosendahl over at Simply Lisa.
