Help Haiti
Help HaitiCaring Members Can Reach Out to Aid Haiti In response to our members wanting to help people in Haiti, the Executive Committee has approved a recommendation from Barbara Wesley, World Gardening/International Natural Disasters Chair, to help with water issues for Haiti. We will be working through Global Partners-Running Waters, the same organization we partnered with when assisting Guatamala. The Executive Committee will ask for ratification of this action at the Annual Convention in Atlanta. However, donations can be accepted immediately for this newly established fund.
The focus of this project will be to provide biological filtration to several sites serving Haitian children, including the orphanage in Port au Prince and seven schools in the mountainous Amazones area. Our donated funds will be used to purchase simple filters that remove 99.9% of harmful bacteria and protozoa.
Checks should be made payable to NGC World Gardening, earmarked Haiti, and mailed to NGC Headquarters, 4401 Magnolia Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63110-3492.
Through this project, NGC can provide clean, life-giving water to some of the people who most desperately need it.
Thank you.
Renee Blaschke, NGC President
