Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On Jan 30, 2010, Chinese UN staffers donated necessities, such as tents, some food, and clean water, to a local orphanage in Haiti after the January 12 earthquake. The Chinese police force working with the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) decided to make the donation after learning that the orphanage with 40 children aged between 4 months and 14 years old had to settle its minors in two small tents on the lawn of its yard and had the older children sleep with its staffers in the open air during the night for fear of lethal aftershocks. The two large tents given by the Chinese donators are big enough to house all the 40 children.
