Additional Information:

As part of United Relief Force Foundation’s mission to provide humanitarian aid, emergency response, and disaster relief, our volunteers have been in Haiti assisting the many victims of the horrific earthquake that has left over 230,000 dead, 300,000 injured, and as many as 1 million homeless in its aftermath. Many of our organization members are originally from Haiti so when this tragedy occurred it really hit home for us. We felt a pressing need to help in any way possible.

 First off all let me just say that what we have seen on television regarding this earthquake shows only a part of how it truly is on the ground. Although the earthquake occurred months ago, the conditions in Haiti are just only starting to improve. I along with the United Relief Force Foundation volunteers have recently returned from Haiti after assisting the victims of this tragedy. We have worked tirelessly alongside doctors, providing translation and moving patients, assisting the United Nations with food, water and tent distribution. We have also visited the various orphanages throughout Port-au-Prince, providing food and clothing. While our efforts in Haiti have been tremendous, there is still a great deal of work to be done. A majority of the earthquake victims are still without sufficient food, water, clothing and shelter. Not to mention the over 400,000 Haitian orphans that are now left in the aftermath of this quake. The situation in Haiti is still dire, and with hurricane season soon approaching sickness and disease, is likely to escalate.
 We are also working on many projects toward the relief effort in Haiti. These include the Haiti Kitchen Project and the Haiti Educational Program. Our organization plans to return to Haiti to set up a kitchen where we will provide meals to Haitian orphans, as well as the many volunteers who have selflessly left their families and homes to help with the relief efforts in Haiti. We are also working on the Haiti Educational Program. Haiti, one of the world’s poorest and least developed countries, also has a very low educational system. The Haiti Educational Program is a project that the United Relief Force Foundation created as a way to provide knowledge and skills as well as encourage the Haitian youth to strive for a brighter future. It is also way to give back to the communities that many of the organizations members once grew up in. In addition to providing relief in Haiti and other countries, we are also providing relief to immigrants that have just arrived in the United States. The United Relief Force Foundation helps these immigrants with finding housing, employment, filling out applications, as well as any other challenges that they may face.
