30th January 2010
National Dollar Day For Haiti
By Marcellus Cazaubon
Commonwealth Youth Ambassador
Saint Lucia

The recent devastations of the earthquake event of January 12th in Haiti have left most of us heartbroken. The loss of human life is simply overwhelming. Death and destruction have proven once more to be apathetic towards men, women and children. Haiti still needs our help and will need every form of support given in the coming months and years.
To this end I as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador have organized with the endorsement and support from the Ministry of Education and Culture a National Dollar Day for all students across the island dubbed: ‘Give A Dollar; Help A Brother’ scheduled for Tuesday February 2, 2010. Students of the Infant, Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary institutions are all respectfully requested to make a minimal contribution of EC$1.00 towards the relief efforts in Haiti. Greater generosity will be gratefully accepted.
Though Haiti is not a member of the Commonwealth, Haiti deserves all possible support right now. This is a terrific opportunity for children and youth especially to impact in a very tangible manner the relief and reconstruction efforts in Haiti.
All contributions will be forwarded from the schools to the respective Education Offices on the island, then to the Ministry of Education and finally to the Ministry of External Affairs.

 
 

Luis Bárcenas, tesorero del Partido Popular, y Gerardo Galeote, eurodiputado, son los dos aforados nacionales del PP investigados por el juez Baltasar Garzón en la 'operación Gürtel', una trama de corrupción que afecta a miembros del PP y que estaría liderada por Francisco Correa, según informa Veo Televisión.El juez de la Audiencia Nacional ha preguntado a la Fiscalía Anticorrupción si debe inhibirse en favor del Tribunal Supremo de toda la causa. Ha planteado esta cuestión en una providencia en la que da un plazo de 48 horas a la Fiscalía Anticorrupción para que responda "urgentemente" si mantiene su petición de inhibición ante los Tribunales Superiores de Justicia de Madrid y Valencia o si considera más procedente realizar una única inhibición ante el Supremo. En esta providencia con fecha del martes, dada a conocer dos horas después de que el PP se querellara contra él por prevaricación y tras alzar parcialmente el secreto de sumario, el magistrado explica que un nuevo informe policial presentado ayer a las 15.30 horas refleja nuevos casos de aforados que implican a la competencia del Tribunal Supremo.
