Haiti Relief Efforts
After
the catastrophic earthquake struck Haiti in January 2010, Embracing the
World immediately joined relief efforts by flying 11 palettes of
medical supplies two weeks following the disaster. The supplies were
received by Partners In Health (PIH), a Boston-based charitable
organizsation that has been working in Haiti for the past 20 years. The
supplies included assorted medications and surgical equipment and
supplies, diagnostic supplies, blankets, tents, sleeping bags,
obstetric and infant-care supplies, wheelchairs, crutches, braces,
splints, and saline solution. In advance of Haiti?s rainy season, a
truckload of high-quality industrial tarps weighing 44,000 pounds was
also delivered to PIH. Later, a 40-foot container of sheets, blankets,
towels, nutritional drinks, wheelchairs, and medical supplies was sent.
Food and Scholarships for Children
After
ETW representatives traveled to Haiti to assess long-term needs, ETW has begun sponsoring the education of children
affected by the disaster and providing staple foods like rice and
beans to affected families.
