LIBERIANS RAISED SEVERAL THOUSANDS DOLLARS TO AIDE HAITI'S EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS

Residents of Monrovia have raised funds to aid earthquake stricken Haiti, which is located between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, west of the Dominican Republic.

At a fund raising concert on February 6, 2010, Liberians raised L,435 (~ US2) and an additional US,000 was pledged by prominent members of society.

Haiti was discovered by Columbus in 1492 and inhabited by native Amerindians of the Taino tribe.
