Crisis Camp for Haiti is an open-for-all event where participants contribute to creating and improving online tools & services for the relief efforts in Haiti. It’s a fun day of collaboration for a great cause.

We're looking for a variety of skills to help with our efforts:

  • Programming
  • Communications & publicity
  • French - English translation/language skills
  • Local knowledge: Haiti and Haitian culture
  • Relief work experience
  • IT project management
  • Facilitation and admin

... or just time on your hands and the desire to do something different.

Please bring a laptop if you have one – but remember, you don’t need to be technical to help out. You can find more information on location and sign up here: http://www.crisiscampldn.org/

Here is a short video explaining what we’re up to - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCv8j_RRW_I

And a great example of the difference Crisis Camps around the world have already made - http://crisiscommons.org/node/42

A big thanks to our generous sponsors: http://www.themassagerooms.com/ and http://www.dominos.co.uk/ who will be ensuring we are fed and de-stressed during the day.

We will then be holding events on the 3rd Saturday of every month – next camp: Saturday 20th March 2010.
