Distributing 240 Briggs and Stratton Generators

June 23, 2010

Yesterday we distributed more than 80 of the Briggs and Stratton 5500 watt generators to school directors, community leaders, and pastors who are part of Haiti Partners’ network or organizations committed to democratic practices. People came from Jeremie, Cap Haitien, Leogane, La Gonave, Gonaive,…from regions throughout the country. Press was present and news has already been on radio and television.

We couldn’t be more grateful to Briggs and Stratton for this generous donation valued at $250,000 which includes free parts for one year. We are also grateful to PADF who partnered with us and Haitian government to help with getting them into country and logistics. The rest will be distributed today and tomorrow.
