Haiti Relief Report
Immediately after the disastrous Haiti earthquake in 2010, DDM North America Buddhist Association (DDMBA) initiated caring efforts by providing sanitary supplies and cleaning equipments to the affected areas. Since then, to further assist Haiti recovers from the disaster, DDMBA also actively searched medical equipments for Haiti’s local hospital use. After one year of searching, DDMBA finally purchased all required medical equipments.
During the ceremony, both Dr. Gedeon and Dr. Joseph expressed their gratitude for DDMBA’s meaningful donation and care. They are committed to transport these medical equipments to the affected areas so the people can benefit from them as soon as possible.
