Everyone sat by the TV waiting for the latest news.

There was not much you could do from the other side of the world.

Donating hasnever beeneasier

How Zynga helped Haiti with Farmville

Donate and get rare flowers

100% of all contributionsto the Zynga Haiti Relief Fund will help our friends in Haiti who are

suffering from a devastating earthquake.

The devastation in Haiti is unimaginable, and anything we or our users can do is tiny compared to the utter loss for this nation. In our small way, I hope we can enable our users to help and touch Haiti in a meaningful way where every dollar raised can make a difference -

Zynga C.E.O. and founder Mark Pincus:

1 week later

Farmville players alone raised 1 million dollars with the Sweet Seeds for Haiti- Haitian Relief campaign.
