Haiti Report
Back & Fundraiser
Having returned from Haiti just four days before the catastrophic
earthquake, members of the Task Force on the Americas will discuss the years of
US intervention and devastating
neoliberal policies that preceded this latest disaster. They will share their
findings based on interviews with more than 70 people.
The presentation is scheduled for Friday, February 12 at 7:30 PM at the
First United Methodist Church, 9
Ross Valley Drive (at Fourth Street),
San
Rafael. Donations will benefit the SOPUDEP School. The school educates over 500
students from the poor neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince free of charge and provides many
with their only meal of the day. Since the disaster the school is housing an
emergency medical clinic staffed by Haitian and Cuban
doctors.
The venue is wheelchair accessible. For more information: 415/924-3227,
