Our team had to build an internationalized site within a few days turn around time to help promote a global benefit for earthquake relief in Haiti. I figured I'd share.
The international site can only be viewed outside of the US, Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico: http://hope.mtv.com (you can watch the stream of the show here though if you are not in the US, otherwise, you can watch on MTV.com or on tv).
All the messaging points to donate at http://www.hopeforhaitinow.org or by calling +1-773-360-0205.
Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit For Earthquake Relief is hosted by George Clooney, Wyclef Jean and Anderson Cooper and features musical performances by Bruce Springsteen, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, Shakira, Sting, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Dave Matthews, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow, Coldplay, Bono, The Edge, Jay-Z and Rihanna as well as appearances by over 100 of the biggest names in film, television and music. All of the proceeds from this event will go directly to Oxfam America, Partners in Health, The Red Cross, UNICEF, Yele Haiti Foundation, The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund and United Nations World Food Programme.
We can all help. Please go to hopeforhaitinow.org to donate now.
Credits: Much thanks to G.s)NarutO and Liquid`Drone for help with translations.
Note: If you want to help me with translations to Danish, Finnish, French, Italian, Hungarian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), Swedish, Ukraninan, Japanese, and Spanish (Latin America) overall, any help would be appreciated =).

Haiti Haiti Haiti, it's all i hear right now.
Don't get me wrong, i feel sorry for the people that live there..
BUT, my country [The Netherlands] donated 86~ Million EURO, like it's nothing..
WHILE WE HAVE AN ECONOMIC CRISIS OVER HERE.
Instead of trying to fix things here, they rather donate huge amount of money to some other country.
SENSE - The Netherlands makes none.
it pisses me off.

86 million Euro / 16.5 million people = 5.21 Euros
That's the cost of a sandwich.

it pisses me off. What the fuck? You deserve to get banned for that shit. Don't you think Economic Crisis is all over the places?! What the fuck? Why are you valuing people's lives less than your economic crisis? PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE. PEOPLE FUCKING DIED, AND MORE DYING DUE TO STARVATION, MALNUTRITION, AND INJURIES THAT CAN BE TREATED WITH SURGERIES.
I guess you are donating all of your money to Africa everyday, right?
what ever, im not blaming those actions, just dont request his ban because you dont like his opinion.
I could help with the translations, neutral spanish, and gl with the donations

You don't have to freak out just because you disagree with me, what i'm saying is that the netherlands always supports other countries with a 100%, while we can't even get it right on our own country.
not to mention the netherlands is always among the top5 of donations while were this shit little country.

Please tell me you are trolling.
I would like to think that people this oblivious to the realities of the world and the suffering of others don't really exist.
PD: I bet the dutch spend more money a year on cheese or something like that, not bashing the country, but you really need some perspective.

Or you can just leave charity to the private sector instead of having the government take your money and give it to someone else... Just a thought.

what his trying to say is.... If a donating country can't get things right in their own country why would they donate... he wants his own country to get back on their 2 feets and then start thinking of making donations otherwise the "economic turmoil" will be lengthened due to the large sums of money flowing out of the economy.... but in that sense money is just paper and metal coins, peoples lives are in danger and in this case and in all cases human beings > money.. so priorities are priorities .. you need to take the big flames out before you take out the little ones
have a fantastic day

84 fucking million is what The Netherlands is donating its fucking ridiculous.
Germany a country that has 84MILLION PEOPLE IN ITS COUNTRY is donating 20million while we as one of the smallest countries in the world with 15million people GIVE fucking 84million doesnt make any motherfucking sense indeed. (at least thats what i heard) -.-
We could Probably have bought Haiti for 84Million.
Gotta love Holland, yawn.
Another thing Haiti only has 9million citizens ~ thats not that fucking much i think we gave enough money already. (the entire world together that is) how much are they gonna need. I think we are giving way way way more in total then they actually need, we basicly gave them so much that they can rebuild their country x10 or something (they didn't have anything to begin with but some concrete wtf buildings)
edit: and from those 9million only 1million doesn't have a roof above their heads anymore. kekekek

the guy has a point. it has nothing to do with greed; you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others. suffering exists in all countries, rich or poor.
at the same time you cant allow devastation of this magnitude to continue without aid, especially since the people of haiti can not help themselves.
comparisions to haiti and african countries are not fair either. haiti was in bad shape before the earthquake, but it was the earthquake that caused the widespread devastation. in africa the issues are political, and thus are not readibly solved by aid.
