Cab Calloway support for Haiti

Maya Shapira, a 6th grade student at Cab Calloway is Dr. Nadiv Shapira's daughter. He just returned from Haiti on the DE Medical Mission team. A video of their trip created for the Wilmington News Journal is available at http://www.delawareonline.com/video#/Delaware+medical+team+helps+Haitians+heal/64194009001.

Mrs. Shapira reports:
A 20-member medical team from Delaware spent a week treating earthquake victims in n the coastal town of Jacmel, Haiti, where the town's only hospital lay in ruins. We are sending out our second medical team this Wednesday. More medications and medical supplies are needed. If you can get them to me or to the location listed below by Tuesday evening that would be great. If that is too soon, don't worry, we will be sending teams continuously, for as long as we can.
