MEMBER NEWS: Marlins, Food for the Poor celebrate Inspiration Village
Representatives of the Florida Marlins and Waste Management visited the now completed Inspiration Village in Malfety, Haiti last week. The two groups paired up with InterAction member Food for the Poor on the Homes for Haiti campaign.
The Homes for Haiti campaign resulted in Inspiration Village, a community of 41 two-room houses with personal sanitation units. The village has a water well, a solar powered water purification unit, and a community center with vocational training in agriculture and animal husbandry.
"The Florida Marlins were extremely proud to team up with Food for the Poor on this extraordinary project,” said Marlins Senior V.P. of Communications, P.J. Loyello. “Inspiration Village has provided 41 families a home, as well as safety and dignity, as they get their lives back together after the natural disasters over the last couple of years. This project has certainly been an inspiration for all of us who've been involved."
