HAITI RELIEF
I am sure that many of you have been following the horrific events that have unfolded in Haiti. The news of the deadly earthquake deeply saddened both Sharon & I, but the relief efforts that have since followed have been truly amazing! Last summer, I led a mission trip to an orphanage in Haiti called the Hands and Feet Project. The children there were precious! Not only did this orphanage care for their own, but had developed food programs to help their entire community. Raising funds for those less fortunate in Haiti has been near and dear to my heart, even prior to this catastrophe. Now, the need is greater than ever. Hands and Feet is one of the few local organizations leading the relief effort and getting supplies to those most in need. Please visit their site for updates at www.handsandfeetproject.org
Pixie Bows has decided to donate 50% of all online retail sales placed in the month of February to help Hands and Feet continue their relief efforts in Haiti. I know many around me who have asked how can they help. Well, here is a way…buy a Pixie Bows’ hair clip! Not only will you get one of our unique and trendy hair clips, but you will be donating to the relief efforts in Haiti. What a win-win situation for everyone!
PHOTO CONTEST:
We also have a photo contest running from Feb-April with the winning photo being featured on our online site for the entire month of May. Photos of your little cuties wearing Pixie Bows can be submitted to Sharon@pixiebows.com and we will share all the submissions on our facebook page and blog. The winner will also receive one of our new products that we are debuting at the ENK Children Show in New York City this March.
Wonderful Wonderbar Donates a Portion of Sales to Haiti

As I sat in my comfortable office yesterday and watched the horrible images and heard the stories of devastation the 7.0 earthquake has left on Haiti I wanted to help. But how; send money, donate clothes, give water and food? Then I heard about the work Doctors Without Borders is doing.
Already stationed in Haiti for natural disaster, social violence and healthcare exclusion relief, Doctors Without Borders was able to hit the ground running to help those in the direst straights. I made a personal donation immediately. I also decided that I will donate a portion of every sale I make from my business and I urge you to do the same.
As of this morning, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières has treated more than 1,500 patients. The primary concern at the moment is the overwhelming numbers of people who need immediate treatment and major surgery with lack of hospitals, supplies and equipment. The Doctors Without Borders website has information on how you can help support them and their work in Haiti. From a button on your blog to a message on Facebook and Twitter, we can make an impact.

More About Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971.
MSF’s work is based on the humanitarian principles of medical ethics and impartiality. The organization is committed to bringing quality medical care to people caught in crisis regardless of race, religion, or political affiliation.
MSF operates independently of any political, military, or religious agendas. Medical teams conduct evaluations on the ground to determine a population’s medical needs before opening programs. The key to MSF’s ability to act independently in response to a crisis is its independent funding. Eighty-nine percent of MSF’s overall funding (and 100 percent of MSF-USA’s funding) comes from private sources, not governments.
