I will be volunteering in Haiti at the end of March and I need some help. I will be the country to document the trip and volunteer. I will be going with or without donations, but anything is a HUGE help for me to help cover some of the cost.

People stopped caring about Haiti a few weeks ago... you're a bit late.

wow, props for doing it by yourself man!
i want to go so bad, but with a group of some kind so its a little more organized and productive. not just tourist type thing. not saying thats what youre doing but most volunteer trips i do are with churches or other non profits that kinda thing. its cheaper too plus all your accommodations and what not are all setup.
if you have any info or know good groups to go with let me know. i havent researched to much about it.

I'm going with a group called Flight to Crisis, no church groups for me. There's a short description in the link. I will be shooting video across Haiti most of the time I am there.

Flight to Crisis is a newly formed non profit that charters planes and assembles volunteer groups of 10-12 people to fly into disaster zones to help take some of the load off aid groups that are already in the area.
