PITTSBURGH, PA – Jan. 20, 2010 – The Union of African Communities in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County (UAC) join with millions across the globe in expressing our condolences and unwavering friendship to the people of Haiti. We are more than horrified at the devastation caused by the killer earthquake which has resulted in the estimated loss of the lives of more than 100,000 Haitians. 

UAC is an umbrella Organization for all African Communities in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County. Constituted by leadership/representatives from 26 plus African Countries/communities (Immigrants, Refugees, Students, and Internationals) represented and living in this region. To learn more about UAC, visit: www.pittsburghafricans.org

This is a time for action – it is a time for us as Africans to respond to this tragedy as the world has always responded to crisis in Africa.  Under the leadership of UAC, our communities are responding generously to the people of Haiti. 

Please join us on Sunday January 31, 2010,  as all African Communities in Pittsburgh (representing over 26 countries), African Churches, Organizations and community leaders come together to pray for Haiti and the Haitian people.

The Red Cross will be present at the event to receive voluntary donations.
