The Impact of Haiti’s earthquake on our local community and how we can help!!!

Carline Murphy is a remarkable friend of Musica and an incredibly strong force in Hudson especially in her effort to organize our local Haitian community. She founded the Haitian Community Development Project, which strives to improve the lives of people in her native country. Last year Carline won an international award among not-for-profit organizations for her idea to bring specially designed incinerators to Haiti to help with local sanitation.

Carline has at last been notified that her daughter ”Mary J”is safe. Mary J. had traveled to Haiti just after Christmas with other Tufts University students to bring some relief supplies, and she was not heard from for several days after the quake.

Though Carline received this wonderful news about her daughter, her relief is tempered by other news. Five of her brothers and sisters in Haiti, along with 13 nieces and nephews, are missing, as is her father.

Azouke Legbe, who is an activist and a gifted musician, also received terrible news. Two of his sisters and five of their children have all been killed.

Carline reports that the major relief agencies will indeed deliver aid, but it is more generalized, and many international aid sources target their aid for the areas where their own nationals are clustered.

A tireless organizer, Carline is working to fill a 40-foot container with needed supplies and to have it delivered directly to a location where her own relatives, and relatives of our local Haitian neighbors, will get it. She has asked that friends send monetary donations to her not-for-profit agency, the Haitian Community Development Project, P.O. Box 35, Niverville, NY 12130. Carline herself monitors this mailbox.
