Medicine for the poor.

With a donation of US$10,000 from the Community of Christ, Counterpart International has procured more than U$1 million worth of pharmaceuticals in partnership with Medicines for Humanity and airlifted them to Haiti for use in clinics run by the United Nations and Doctors Without Borders, reports Caribbean Net News (June 2, 2007). "The pharmaceuticals will benefit about 9,200 of Haiti's most vulnerable, particularly women and children, through an effort by international aid organizations and local clinics," said Dr. Thoric Cederstrom, Counterpart's VP of Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture.
