WHERE: On January 12th, 2010, Haiti suffered the worst tragedy for over 200 years! An earthquake with the magnitude of 7.0 hit Port-au-Prince and its surroundings with a vengeance, l a trail of deaths, collapsed buildings, schools and hospitals. This major catastrophe came at a time when Haiti is still recovering from four hurricanes which quasi destroyed its already weak infrastructure two summers ago.

The Haiti Relief Task Force composed of over 15 local and national organizations has been revived to bring desperate relief to millions of our brothers and sisters who are suffering at this time. Marleine Bastien, Executive Director of Fanm Ayisyen Nan Miyami, Inc./Haitian Women of Miami said: "It is heartwrenching to see so many men, women, and little babies lying on the streets with broken limbs, screaming and yet, no help is coming. These are God's children, they need our support now. It is a matter of life or death!"
