Thread Name: I believe this is a worthy charity Haiti
Subject: I believe this is a worthy cause in Haiti
My cousin in Minnesota (a folk musician and one of the founders of the Cedar Cultural Center in the twin cities) is involved in this organization: I just heard from my cousin in Minnesota about an aid project in Haiti..producing food for undernourished children. They would be a good project to support if you are wanting to send aid
to Haiti. Toddler Food Partners processes a peanut based food for emergency use. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpWQ8isbwWk
Meds and... Foods for Kids makes RUTF (Ready to Use Therapeutic Food) for under nourished toddlers. They employ locals and help to provide nourishing food for children. The factory is in Cap Haitien which is in the north and remote from the quake. The factory is intact, and continues to produce nourishing food, Medika mamba. http://mfkhaiti.org/
however, a ship with equipment and supplies has been lost
and they need help. I am searching to see if there is a way to give monetary aid via pay pal. there is a link on the page about where to send checks/cheques to:
Meds & Food for Kids
4488 Forest Park, Ste. 230
St. Louis, MO 63108
My cousin was in the peace corps and contiunes to care about others
and to offer help. I hope that some of us can share our support, too.
