When everyone else from the International community giving relief aid to Haiti was afraid of going into certain areas, the Turks went in.
In the early days following the January 12 earthquake tha devastated Haiti, "Helping Hands", a relief mission made up of muslems volunteers from Turkey, went to Cité Soleil and Carrefour at the Cultural Center of PVS (Ecole Frère Polycarpe) to bring much needed medical help and hot meals to many Haitians who have just suffered probably the biggest catastrophy of their lifetime. When everything was just held up around the airport area for "security reasons", the turks moved in to where help was needed.
At the request of M. Raynald Delerme, President and CEO of the Haitian American Association of Filmmakers, they went to Carrefour.

The Haitian American Association of Filmmakers want to thank "Helping Hands" for their support. The recovery of Haiti is a long term effort. At the present time, The Haitian American Association of Filmmakers is sheltering more than 500 Scouts at PVS Cultural Center (Ecole Frère Polycarpe, Carrefour). We need your help to continue our mission. Please donate what you can.
