AFTER donating one hundred mattresses to Haiti, the president of the Hardware Dealers Co-operative Society of Trinidad and Tobago is calling on other hardware stores to do the same.

Joseph Callender said following the magnitude 7.0 earthquake last week, a decision was made by the board to assist by donating the mattresses and 1,000 tarpaulins.

’It is a starting point. An interim gesture for the people of Haiti. We are asking all hardwares to do the same to help,’ Callender said.

Callender said he knew that, apart from food and water, the people have many needs and the donation may help to provide a comfortable resting place for some of the displaced.

The items are expected to be delivered in Haiti today with the help of the South Trinidad Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Callender said. (Trinidad Express)
