Today, San Juan Rotarian Carlos Matos and fellow pilots Danny Epps and Ramon Torres delivered approximately 1,400 pounds of antibacterial hand sanitizer to Dr. Claude Surena in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, following an appeal from 7020 District Governor Diana White in response to the Cholera outbreak.
The pilots departed just after sunrise, and the last of the three private planes safely touched down at Isla Grande airport at just before 6:00 p.m. My thanks go to Carlos, Danny, and Ramon, the District 7000 Rotarians in the 23 clubs who responded to this call, Districts 7020, 6920 and the Rotary Club of Skidaway Island, each who have offered financial assistance, and those persons both civilian and military who provided their aid in Haiti’s time of need.
Thank You!

Our Rotary District 7020 has established the Haiti Task Force as the conduit for all Foundation-related projects. We have established a Haiti Task Force whose role is: (1) to review the initiatives intended for Haiti with TRF involvement, and (2) to help designate the appropriate Club or Clubs, and (3) to ensure the ability of TRF compliance before moving forward. We created the Haiti Task Force three years ago (2007), and developed it significantly over the last year with this purpose.
