SCARBOROUGH ROTARY DRIVE FOR HAITI

Scarborough Rotary will be doing a Donation Drive for Haiti with 100% of the proceeds to go to Konbit Santé (which means Partnership for Health). Konbit Santé is a non-profit located in Portland, Maine. It has been chosen as the recipient for the following reasons:

1.Since the 2007-2008 Rotary year sixteen clubs in our district have been involved in a project overseen by this organization at the Saint Justinian Hospital in Haiti.

2.Konbit Santé headquarters are located in Portland, Maine.

3.While Haiti is in chaos, Konbit Santé is organized, has a plan in place

and is on the ground following their plan.

4. Seriously injured earthquake victims from Port au Prince are

being air-lifted to the St.Justinian Hospital.

5. The St. Justinian Hospital has sent medical teams to Port au Prince. It is the only remaining hospital of any size left in Haiti and was not affected by the quake.
