Mission: Helping Haiti
The measurement of integrity is what we do unto those for whom we have nothing to gain from. CarbonCopyPRO believes in this very concept wholeheartedly.
On January 17th PRO donated $5,000 to the Red Cross relief effort in Haiti.
We encourage you embrace the responsibility we all have as global citizens. The responsibility we have to embracing the common good. You can give directly to the RED CROSS by simply texting: ($10 will be donated via your cell provider)
To make a one-time donation of $10 to the American Red Cross, simply TEXT ‘HAITI’ to 90999 (The charge will be made through your mobile provider)
ONE just launched a petition asking global creditors to cancel Haiti’s $890 million international debt. Doing so will help make sure that every possible future dollar goes towards rebuilding a stronger Haiti, not to servicing old debts.
While the US has already forgiven Haiti’s past debts, we need Haiti’s other creditors—the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, and countries like Taiwan and Venezuela—to follow our lead and do the same. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has the power to help make that happen.

We have opportunities to act now towards breaking the bonds of injustice.
The Challenge
Developing countries spent years repaying billions of dollars in loans, most of which had been accumulated under corrupt regimes during the Cold War and had collected interest. These debts undermined the ability of many countries to invest in their people and make progress fighting poverty, and many countries ended up spending more each year paying back old debts than they did on health and education combined.
The Opportunity
Beginning in 1996, wealthy countries took steps to cancel debts owed by the world’s poorest countries. In total, nearly $110 billion worth of debt has been canceled. This relief has helped free up scarce resources for poor governments to invest in their people.
To replicate these successes and protect them, wealthy countries need to fully deliver upon their financial commitments to cancel debts, extend debt relief to other poor countries in need, and take immediate steps to help countries avoid accumulating new debts.
