ASE Foundation donates to Doctors without Borders' Haiti relief efforts
The ASE Foundation has donated $500 to Doctors without Borders' relief efforts in Haiti. Though its own facilities were severely damaged by the massive earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) field staff has established temporary clinics in order to treat injured men, women, and children. MSF was able to respond immediately because international and national staff had already been running several projects in country. For more information on activities of the ASE Foundation, including charitable giving, research grants, the learning lab, fundraising initiatives and the ASE Awards Gala, visit www.asefoundation.org.
