On January 12, 2010, an earthquake that the USGS says was the strongest since 1770 struck Haiti just 10 miles west of Port-au-Prince and its 2 million inhabitants. Shortly after the earthquake, Thomas Easley, the resident herbalist at The Wellness Center in Pace and president of Herbs 4 Orphans joined the relief effort and brought badly-needed supplies to the orphanage he’s been working with.
Thomas plans on going back to Haiti August 14th – 21st. Please see the list of needed supplies below. You may go to Herbs 4 Orphans to donate money or medical supplies. Any contribution is tax deductible.
