With a little help from his friends--and Facebook--freshman Michael Bloch is making a difference

By Wendy Edelstein, NewsCenter | 19 January 2010

BERKELEY — It didn’t take long for Michael Bloch to know he wanted to help the people affected by the disaster in Haiti. So the Berkeley freshman created a Facebook page to focus campus attention on the relief effort, and invited 100 of his friends from the social-networking site to join. Within 24 hours, nearly 1,100 people had become members of Haiti Earthquake Relief – UC Berkeley. By Tuesday, Jan. 19, the number had swelled to more than 2,500.
