[SEMCO] Saving the Environment and People in Haiti (February 17)

[Murphydalzell at aol.com]

What can environmentalists do to help countries like Haiti?
 
On Wednesday night, February 17th,  there will be a special  report on what 
has happened in the L'Acul area in Haiti.      Staff from the Marine 
Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole have worked in the  area for several years to 
help raise talapia.    These farm fish  are needed to help feed local people.
 
Dr. Scott Lindell will speak at 7:00 pm, on Wednesday night, at the  
Unitarian Universalist church in Falmouth.    The church is  located at 840 
Sandwich Road in East Falmouth.  
 
Reports indicate that the average Haitian adult survives on a diet of  
800-calories per day.   Haiti is the poorest country in the Western  hemisphere. 
   In Haiti, poverty is associated with environmental  damage and the 
environmental damage contributes to suffering in hundreds of  villages like 
L'Acul.
 
The Wednesday night program is free and open to the public.   For  
additional information, please call the church office.   Telephone:  (508) 457-0449.
 
                                                                     - END -
