The units will be constructed out of shipping containers and provide immediate relief for displaced families who are currently camped at the L’Athletique d’Haiti soccer field.

WHERE:  Robert Morgan Educational Center, 18180 SW 122 Ave., Miami, FL 33177
WHEN: Monday, May 24th 5:00 PM – 6:00PM
WHO:   The following spokespersons will be available for media interviews:

  • Patricia Arquette, Actress, Founder of  Give Love
  • Ross Hancock, Communications Director, American Welding Society
  • James Brantley, Welding Instructor, Robert Morgan Educational Center
  • Robert Morgan Educational Center welding students

    Hi
    I’m apart of a medical/shelter building relief group called Love for Haiti. I met you in the PAP luggage cluster f, I was the guy with the shaved head helping you keep the bags from either flying off the conveyor belt, or dislocating someones knee. Thanks for helping to try and keep Haiti in the spot light. You seemed really down to earth and genuine. It’s awesome know that actors like you and Penn are getting your hands dirty and helping out.
