Article: by Joshua Runyan – Chabad.org Photos: CrownHeights.info

Prince Michael of Kent, a cousin of British monarch Queen Elizabeth II, toured the heavily damaged site of Chabad-Lubavitch of Mumbai, India, in a gesture of solidarity and in support of the rebuilding effort following the Nov. 26, 2008 terrorist attack there and at tourist centers throughout the city. At the end of his Wednesday afternoon visit, he presented Rabbi Avraham Berkowitz, director of the Chabad Mumbai Relief Fund, with a formal pledge of $100,000 on behalf of the DVK Foundation, a United Kingdom charity he serves as patron.

Kids of Courage Facilitate Skiing!

BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Upwards of 30 children who battle for their lives on a daily basis continued to conquer their illnesses through adventure yesterday as they took to the ski slopes of Sugarbush Resort in Waitsfield, Vt. Utilizing the specifically-trained volunteers from Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports, the only year-round disabled sports program with daily programming in Vermont, Kids of Courage and its entourage of more than 100 physicians, paramedics, nurses, physical therapists, and specially trained lay staff helped these kids forget the tubes, pumps and needles that go along with their personal daily challenges—and taught them to ski.

Chabad’s Haiti Relief Aid Reaches Orphans

By Dvora Lakein for Lubavitch.com

“Please I am hungry. Please give me something to eat.”

HAITI — As Rabbi Shimon Pelman returned to his Santo Domingo home late Monday, the cries from Haiti’s streets pierced his ears. Pelman arrived in the earthquake-shattered capital of Port-au-Prince early that morning with the most basic of supplies. Milk, tuna, sardines, pasta, and medicine filled the cavernous truck. A second truck donated by Chabad arrived in Haiti’s capital Tuesday morning, bearing vegetables and fruit.
