In Boston, Irish community rallies to help Haiti

Winnie Henry is organizing a day of Irish Dance/Music ito raise funds for Haitian earthquake relief. Right now, she says she hopes to secure a venue in Quincy in February, and she expects to stage a day-long event with music, dance and "no speeches," and direct all proceeds to the Haitian people. Currently, the Irish government has pledged significant funds and resources to the rescue efforts, and staffers and volunteers from three Irish agences- GOAL, Concern and Haven- are on the ground now in Haiti as part of the massive international aid to the Haitian tragedy.
