This is exactly why I shop at Whole Foods and do what I do – it’s about the bigger cause!

Norzina is located about 2.5 hours from Port au Prince in Gonaïves so most likely her community was not heavily affected. Unfortunately the collapse of the capital is going to prove devastating for the entire country for many months to come. Whole Planet Foundation recommends that you help Fonkoze, our trusted partner in Haiti, to meet the needs of impoverished Haitians and help them to recover from this devastating disaster. Any donation to Fonkoze will be well used to help impoverished Haitians. Fonkoze’s Earthquake News page details the most current information on Fonkoze and their microcredit clients and how to mark your donation if you want to give for earthquake relief. Our thoughts and prayers are with all Haitians and relief workers. Thank you all.

I would love to receive an update on Norzina and her family – especially now since the earthquake has devastated their country.

Wow. I’m just learning of the Whole Foods Market after recent research and being enlightened about factory farming. I was in search of a nearby store and upon looking at your website I noticed this article about Haiti. I went on a mission trip to Haiti in June and it has changed my world completly. Such beautiful people that live there who inspired me and taught me so much. Thank you for this article and for the help you also provide to the Haitians. I am excited about my first upcoming visit to the Whole Food Market!

Great news for the world! It is inspiring to know that people who have a dream but no credit can get their businesses started with a little help from Whole Foods.I enjoyed the video, and the background on the cultural aspects of the recipe. Way to go Genie and WFM!
Cheers,
Susan
