Texting Aid Dollars
|

| Much of the financial support for earthquake-stricken Haiti has a high-tech source -- the text message. From $10 donations to the Red Cross (text HAITI to 90999), the Clinton Foundation's Haiti Relief Fund (text HAITI to 20222), and Doctors Without Borders (text DOB to 90999), cell-phone philanthropy has pulled in millions of dollars. We'll talk about the mechanics of the text-message-donation trend. |
