North Carolina - A Charlotte family's small business sunk by the economy, is turning
misfortune into relief for Haiti. They're doing it with the help of
social networking.
Howard
Mackie's small business went bust in the recession, leaving him with
tens of thousands of bottles of water with no where to go. He saw the
need in Haiti, networked with everyone he knew, partnered with a relief
group and now that water is headed to Haiti.
The water will be trucked to Florida then flown to Haiti.
The
group Bahamas Methodist Habitat is flying the water over and
distributing it in areas that haven't seen as much relief as Port au
Prince.
