Hats off to the 3rd grade for their leadership with the Read-a-thon – and, to all the efforts of the Lower School classes!!
Project summary
Just hours after a catastrophic earthquake struck Haiti — killing thousands and displacing up to two million people — Mercy Corps began deploying an experienced, field-tested emergency response team. Upon arriving in Port-au-Prince, we went immediately to work, talking with displaced survivors about what they needed most. We delivered 15 tons of food to the city's biggest hospital. We got clean water flowing again in medical clinics and shattered neighborhoods. We ensured a reliable income for survivors by creating a cash-for-work program, which also began revitalizing failing local economies. Today, our team is working with survivors, local authorities and partner organizations on long-term plans — including job creation — that will help Haiti rebuild better and stronger.
Message from Spencer White:
Community members at Catlin Gabel have intimate connections to families and schools in Haiti. Numerous communities around the globe are responding to this disaster and it's imperative that we do the same. As a community our collective contributions can equal an immense amount of relief for the residents of Haiti as well as provide our students with valuable education on collective action and how organizations mobilize to address these crises.
Please contact Spencer White with inquiries.
