Charitable Projects
Tao Sangha for Haiti:
Shortly after the devastating earthquake disaster in Haiti Tao Sangha made a connection with a family that runs the Haitian Community Hospital near Port-au-Prince that is in need of support. So far, members and friends of Tao Sangha have donated over $1,000 for supplies that will be delivered directly to the hospital this week(last week of Jan. 2010) by a private plane in Miami, Florida.
Tao Sangha Centres are making a big effort January-March 2010 to do Charity Shiatsu and fundraising activities to support this very poor country in this time of great need. Centres are also supporting SOS Children's Villages through Charity Shiatsu http://www.soschildrensvillages.ca/pages/default.aspx .

Videos of Hospital This is a link of a video showing a happy story from the hospital - it's about a little boy Jose. The video was created by a group of doctors from CURE who were the first foreign volunteers to arrive at the hospital. While they were at HCH, they created several videos, and you can view others through this same link.
