Disaster Relief
Pacific Rim Disaster Relief Efforts - The Pacific Rim including Indonesia, American Samoa and Samoa suffered a devastating blow on September 29th and 30th, as each experienced massive earthquakes and a subsequent tsunami in the Samoas. It is feared at this point that there could be as many as 1 million people who are displaced from their homes and over a thousand deaths.
The AAFP Foundation is asking for member donations to support relief efforts in the area. Contributions will go to help our partner relief agencies, Heart to Heart International and International Medical Corps, on the ground in these devastated areas.
