Kiwanis International Foundation's Response to Haiti Disaster
As many of us are receiving inquiries about the Kiwanis response to the Haiti disaster, here are some points that you may wish to make if contacted:
The Kiwanis International (KI) and Kiwanis International Foundation (KIF) trustees are very concerned about the plight of those in Haiti. KIF has made a $25,000 grant for Haiti relief through UNICEF; $10,000 of that amount was matched by the Canadian government. Additionally, KIF trustees approved the distribution of $5,000 from its Jamaican fund to the Kiwanis Club of Jeremie, Haiti. With the Canadian match, this obviously totals $40,000.
Further, a joint letter inviting gifts to the KIF Disaster Relief Fund and mentioning Haiti will soon be issued over the signatures of KI President Paul Palazzolo and KIF President Elmer Austermann. Kiwanians may give online to the KIF Disaster Relief Fund using this link.
