12/9/09: Container# MSCU 987540 0. The Haitian coalition of Philadelphia, and the consul general sponsored this shipment to two hospitals in Haiti. Also the ministry of health in Haiti will receive the shipment and direct the distribution of items. Out last container for this group was a great success in January of 2008, so we are excited about elevating these hospitals, as well as having the local Haitian community participate in the fundraising. There is much more to be accomplished and we are planning additional containers for February 2010. Also a group from Philadelphia will meet the container in Haiti, and help distribute the humanitarian cargo. Two 40’ containers went to Haiti in 2009!
