"We will all have watched the news reports of the situation in Haiti following the dreadful earthquake with increasing horror and concern. The devastation caused by this enormous earthquake on an already underdeveloped country and the impact on its people, especially children, that were already living in one of the poorest countries in the world, is difficult to comprehend.
This Council wishes to stand in solidarity with the people of Haiti and to say to the survivors “You are not alone”.
This Council therefore resolves that it will send an appropriate donation to the Disasters Emergency Committee.
It believes that all donations no matter how small will make a difference. As Mother Theresa said, “If you can’t feed a hundred people then just feed one”. This Council will therefore do what it can to promote the various means of appeal and to encourage the generosity of the people of Swansea to support the fundraising efforts".
“We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give”.
