Real Madrid is going to provide funds to rebuild a school that was
destroyed in the earthquake in Haiti.
Team president Florentino Perez said the Real Madrid
Foundation will donate money to resurrect the Ecole Saint Gerard in
Port-au-Prince.
Real Madrid will work with a Spanish NGO called Acoger y
Compatir, which founded the school. It had 1,200 students but was
flattened in the quake, with some 300 children killed, Perez said
at a ceremony at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Perez said "Haiti has suffered an absolute disaster and we
face a great challenge, but we must not think it is impossible to
achieve."
The team also plans to create a football school and social
club that will provide Haitian children with medical care and food.
