STANDING IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE OF HAITI

FACE Africa Gala to benefit Partners In Health's Haiti Relief Efforts

We at FACE Africa stand in solidarity with all the people of Haiti in this desperately challenging time. We commend the many relief organizations, government agencies and individuals who are working to meet the needs of all those suffering from the devastating effects of the January 12 earthquake.

While FACE Africa is not a disaster response organization and we do not have programs in Haiti, to support such work, we encourage you to give directly to such organizations.

We are joining the rest of the global community in taking action to help the people of Haiti in the aftermath of last week's devastating earthquake.

A portion of the proceeds from our Annual Gala on Saturday, March 20th

at the Taj Boston will go directly to Partners In Health, an organization that brings modern medical care to poor communities in nine countries around the world including Haiti, where they have been working for 20 years.

With the destruction of so much of Haiti's already inadequate medical infrastructure, the New York Times wrote that "Partners In Health probably just became the largest health care provider still standing in all Haiti."

We are honored to partner with Partners In Health to contribute to the relief efforts in Haiti and hope that you will lend your support.
