I was not surprised to hear the radio stations coming together to raise money for Haiti because they have done this type of charity work before. Every Christmas they set up a "glass house" where they can not eat (they can only drink non alcoholic beverages/soups/smoothies) and they raise money for Africa.
This time the radio stations, journalists and celebrities came together and people could text message or call to donate money to Haiti. All together they raised in 24 hours time...41,2 million euros and Minister Bert Koenders doubled that amount bringing the total to around 83,4 million euros!!!!!
