Through relentless efforts of Cliff Feldman, The Stars Foundation has facilitated with partners the sending of 50 containers of goods in kind to Haiti. These include food, clothing, water and medical supplies. We are shipping to outlying cities of Port au Prince to provide for the safe havens of the refugees devastated by the Haitian earthquake.
See the pictures in our Help For Haiti photo gallery. Soon we will be following Cliff and Cheryl with clips on our YOU TUBE CHANNEL to keep track of their work for the children.
