The crisis in Haiti is obviously a massive story (text “Haiti” to 90999 to donate $10 to Red Cross’s efforts), so everyone wants to help out. But what about the donations that are a bit, um, less helpful? Take for example this donation from an American Christian organization of a couple solar-powered Bibles. Yes, solar-powered Bibles.

These are solar-powered audible Bibles that can broadcast the holy scriptures in Haitian Creole to 300 people at a time.

Called the “Proclaimer,” the audio Bible delivers “digital quality” and is designed for “poor and illiterate people”, the Faith Comes By Hearing group said.

According to their website, the Proclaimer is “self-powered and can play the Bible in the jungle, desert or … even on the moon!”

The Albuquerque-based organisation said 600 of the devices were already on their way to Haiti.

It said it was responding to the Haitian crisis by “providing faith, hope and love through God’s Word in audio”.
