MAPEI Corporation and MAPEI Caribe Help Rebuild Haiti
DEERFIELD BEACH, FL and DORADO,PUERTO RICO --MAPEI Corporation and MAPEI Caribe Inc. have jointly donated $5,000 to the Haitian recovery effort. “We have seen the devastation that has occurred in Haiti following August’s natural disasters, explained Francisco Sanchez, general manager, MAPEI Caribe Inc. They were still rebuilding from the damage caused by Hurricane Dorian. Then, the 7.2-magnitude earthquake caused large-scale destruction, and this was followed almost immediately by Tropical Storm Grace, which caused flooding and landslides, bringing rescue efforts to a halt. Now in the aftermath of all this, they lack even the basic necessities. COVID-19 is spreading. It is a true disaster. We must help.”
Having experienced natural disasters in Puerto Rico, where MAPEI Caribe is headquartered, Sanchez knew that, in this case, the best option for help would be the Red Cross Haitian Relief Fund. “The Red Cross had a network already in place providing much needed medical assistance, food and clean water.” he said.
