SOS HAITI - With the passing of Hurricane Matthew in November last year, Haiti faces a humanitarian crisis with millions of people needing help.
The organizations Forever Kids, Viver100Fronteras and Paramedics of International Catastrophe, want to bring humanitarian aid to Haiti. In the last quarter of 2016, the school community of Lisbon and Vale do Tejo mobilized to achieve the goal of providing direct support to the orphaned community that Forever Kids supported in 2010 during the earthquake. With the support of the company URBANOS that has given the space to store and prepare the donations, and with the support of the company Rent-a-Star that has given a vehicle to collect, they are ready to send a good tons of food.
