The Rotary International will meet again in mid-February to asses if there is still a need for short-term funding.
Other organizations receiving funding have strong rotary connections like Shelter Box, which as already provided 3,000 tents to the homeless in Port-au-Prince. Also, the Madison Rotary is collecting funds to be sent to the Haitian Health Foundation which is supporting refugees from Port-au-Prince.
