Great work. More to come soon!
Shawn Seipler, Executive Director
Clean the World
Thanks to the generosity of Formula One Life donors and our amazing neighbors at Clean the World who are coordinating CARE flights (Corporate Aviators Responding to Emergencies) from Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale as well as cruise shipments from Miami, we were able to send our first formula shipment to Haiti, today! This partnership was a match made in heaven, as Clean the World has enabled us to also send powdered formula along with their 250,000 bottles of water and teams of physicians! Shawn explained the routing and distribution to me as follows: All of the CARE flights leaving Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale as well as cruise ships from Miami are going to Cap-Haitien where distribution is running more efficiently than Port Au Prince. From there the donations are taken to hospitals, orphanages and Clean the World warehouses in the northern part of the island which are being used as distribution centers. Shawn says the Haitian people are migrating en masse to the north to get out of Port Au Prince and are receiving aid and supplies from these warehouses. As an added blessing, Shawn appointed the majority of our formula as medical supplies so most of it will be accompanied by physicians and in good hands to ensure it reaches the infants in need.
Pictured here is $1000 worth of formula from our wonderful donors and REACH In Action which contributed 45 cans of Nestle Good Start! We anticipate sending another shipment very soon as Florida Kiwanis Clubs hold formula drives across the state in support of our Formula One Life+ mission to Haiti. Our heartfelt thanks to all the beautiful people who have helped and continue to help make this mission possible for the infant orphans of Haiti...
