Sites That Help Kids Help Haiti

The devastating earthquake in Haiti has spurred people around the world to give to the relief effort. But it's not just grown-ups who can help. Several websites are giving kids a chance to do something for Haiti, too. If your kids ask what they can do, visit the most age-appropriate of the sites below and help your kid make a donation. Every little bit helps, and showing kids how the Web can be used to help people is a valuable tool. Make sure you always go through a reputable charitable organization, such as the ones used at the sites below. (At some of these websites, you may need to click around to find the donation path.)
