I received this letter from a friend.

"Hare Krishna Food for Life Global has established our first base in Santo Domingo,
Dominican Republic with the help of Ekendra Prabhu and the Hungarian team led by
Koda Nitai. Many volunteers will come to the Food for Life Santo
Domingo headquarters in next days.
On Saturday evening we distributed 100 portions of hot meals in the local
hospital, organized by Ekendra and local devotees. There are a lot of
Haitian refugees here in Santa Domingo and local hospitals and humanitarian
aid agencies can not take care of everyone, so Food for Life is providing
tasty prasadam (sanctified vegetarian food) for some of them.
Food for Life Global is continuing to receive volunteer applications and
donations from all over the world to support our efforts. A new web site
will soon be created to fully document the progress of our team.
Your donations are still crucial at this stage of the development and we
sincerely thank all who have already come forward to support FFLG. Please
continue to give whatever you can and remember: FFL can serve more than 100
meals in a crisis like this for as little as $25. So your dollars will go a
long way.
We are also appealing to the public to supply our team with the best quality
produce. If you are able to donate bulk organic produce or grains, please
contact our office now because we have a plane standing by in Florida ready
to fly over supplies.
