Thank you

Ezili's HLLN/Nation of Islam partnership to provide gift of clean water technology to Haiti is life saving earthquake and cholera relief. Providing such relief directly to Haitian-led, grassroots womens organizations, sets the standard for supporting the backbone of Haiti and for sustainable relief with human rights, healing and dignity. Thank you to the honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. - Ezili Dantò of HLLN, August 15, 2011 ( http://bit.ly/qXehHP)
