Local Girl Scouts Help with Haiti Relief

Here is an article from the Boston Globe that relates what a Girl Scouts Troop did with the money they had raised with their cookie sale :

Charlestown Girl Scouts recently donated the money they earned in the Girl Scout Cookie Sale to Doctors Without Border to support Haiti relief.

See the article :

Why we’re moved to help our neighbors in Haiti - The Boston Globe

“We took a vote,’’ Trayah says, “and it was unanimous: Haiti.’’

"The feelings were similar for Matarazzo-Rabson’s Girl Scout troop, whose members deployed themselves outside a Charlestown supermarket one chilly Thursday afternoon. Troop members spent two hours selling Thin Mints and rattling donation cups for Doctors Without Borders, one of the chief international medical agencies working in Haiti. They raised $436."
