When I was preparing the Press Release/Press Kit for the Press Conference 3 days ago, amount mobilized was USD350,000. Now, the figure had jumped to USD650,000.
Looks like Lions have been sympathetic and have been contributing funds to the Haiti Earthquake Relief.

A 7.0 earthquake devastated Haiti on Tuesday, January 12, with a massive aftershock on January 19. Following the devastating earthquakes, Lions around the world responded generously and quickly to the LCIF designated fund for this disaster.Lions Hope for Haiti has mobilized more than US$650,000 to date. Lions Hope for Haiti is Lions and LCIF working together to provide relief and hope for the people of Haiti. Donations are continuing to pour in from individuals, clubs and districts. LCIF is working directly with Lions of Haiti as well as Lions in neighboring countries to assess the immediate needs and also develop a long-term reconstruction plan. An initial truckload of relief supplies has been transported by Dominican Republic Lions to Haitian Lions and Leos for distribution. Tents are being set up for victims and relief workers. And Lions have established a camp in Port au Prince to provide relief.
