Members of the Emory University swimming and diving team were
doing their part to help the relief efforts in Haiti, as a number
of Eagles volunteered with MedShare earlier this week.
MedShare is a nonprofit organization, which collects surplus
medical supplies and equipment from hospitals, medical distribution
companies and individuals, and then redistributes them to qualified
healthcare facilities in the developing world. With the
recent crisis in Haiti, much of MedShare's attention has been focus
on the region.
Emory's swimmers and divers volunteered by repackaging surplus
medical supplies from Atlanta-area hospitals that would normally be
throw own, but instead will eventually be diverted to those in
need, particularly in Haiti.
