Charity leader spells out what Ireland’s ‘awesome’ response has meant to Haitian people

HEARTBREAK and hope don’t often come together – in the response of the Irish people to the Haitian tragedy, they certainly did.

We know earthquakes often lead to tsunamis when great forces are unleashed, but the wave of generosity from Ireland that came in the wake of this disaster was awesome in its own right.

As a result, GOAL recently completed a feeding programme in Port-au-Prince which reached in excess of 295,000 people and we plan to feed many more thousands of survivors in the coming months.
