Donation for Haiti
After the devastating earthquake in Haiti, the Putnam Rotary Club and the Putnam Rotary Foundation were quick to respond with a $5,000 donation to Foundation Good Samaritan in Action (FGSA), a local northeast Connecticut organization on the ground in Haiti. This donation was matched by a local businessman and his wife.
FGSA provides the Haitian people with the basics of life – clean water, vitamins, antibiotics, immunizations and basic medical care. This is the second time that the Putnam Rotary Club and Foundation have partnered with FGSA. Last year, the three groups worked together to provide 75 concrete water filters for the Haitian people and there are plans for more.
