In addition, Habitat will be cleaning the areas affected by the earthquake, providing shelter kits that will assist in immediate repairs to damaged homes, and provide families with transitional shelter that would serve as a permanent base structure for families over time. For more information, please visit:  http://www.habitat.org/disaster/active_programs/haiti_earthquake.aspx.  Additionally, the joint task force is coordinating with the United States', Haitian and Dominican governments for relief missions to the island consisting of volunteers and the shipment of necessary supplies.  Founding Father of Lambda Theta Phi and Lambda Theta Phi Foundation Chairman, Agustin Garcia, has accompanied government officials to the island to evaluate the situation and determine the best course of action for donation items and funds.
