Would this have happened under Maharishi? I cannot recall a time whenever they got involved in a charity of this nature.
I could be wrong, but I don't think it even happened after 9/11. Here's what I am referring to, an email I just got from MAPI: Dearest Customer and Friend, The disaster in Haiti moves us to help our international friends in need. Sometimes we can't do much, but as the saying goes, every little bit helps. TOGETHER, we can make a life-supporting difference. In addition to immediate medical supplies, food, and shelter, disaster victims also require clothing as all or most of their possessions are lost as a result of the catastrophe. MAPI will be making a contribution to this relief effort by donating quality, new clothing to the people of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The first shipment will be leaving the USA Friday, January 22, 2010. We also thought that our customers might want to participate in this effort, and we have created a simple way for you to lend your support. MAPI has just begun a final clearance sale on all of our organic clothing, and we have decided to donate in your name an additional $25 in clothing to the earthquake victims for every $25 clothing purchase our customers make. Best Wishes Always, Ernie P.S.
