It’s been four-plus months since the earthquake that wreaked havoc in Haiti, and though it no longer leads the news the Caribbean nation is still a long, long way from fully recovering from the devastation.
There are signs of hope though. “Iron Chef America” star Cat Cora, along with former Sen. Bob Kerrey, Timberland CEO Jeff Swartz and Share Our Strength founder Billy Shore recently traveled there to do what they could to lend a hand, as you can see in the video above.
Cora, who’s also the founder of the relief group Chefs for Humanity, discusses delivering nutritional aid to those who badly need it. Kerrey, who lost part of a leg while serving in the Vietnam War, pitches in at a Handicap International center that provides prosthetics for those who lost limbs in the quake. The group also visits a Partners in Health clinic that’s working to give Haitians access to health care.
The goal of their trip was not just to parachute in and offer temporary assistance, but to help Haitians develop things like sustainable agriculture and nutritional education that can have lasting effects for months and years down the line.
