It is estimated that over
3 million people
were affected by the earthquake in Haiti.
More than
1,700 people
making up approximately
43 rescue teams
have flown to Haiti to assist in rescue efforts since last Tuesday.
Approximately
72,000 bodies
have been recovered within the first week since the earthquake.
How many people does it take to make a difference?
One person.
The current state of Haiti is devastating beyond imagination. But what happens when a country's infrastructure makes recovery more difficult than imagined?
Join the Black Public Health Student Network as we discuss Haiti’s current status, their past issues with infrastructure, and what you can do to make a difference in the recovery process.
All types of donations (food, monetary donations, supplies, etc.) are encouraged and welcome.
