focustaiwan.tw: First lady departs Haiti for Dominican Republic

Taiwan's first lady Chow Mei-ching wrapped up her humanitarian visit to Haiti and will leave for the Dominican Republic Wednesday local time, after meeting with four Haitian children whom she and President Ma Ying-jeou are sponsoring.

During her two-day stay in Haiti, Chow visited an orphanage, the non-governmental organization Food For The Poor, a World Vision childcare center and a number of refugee camps to offer comfort to people left homeless by an earthquake that devastated Haiti on Jan. 12.

Food For The Poor has maintained fundraising and administrative costs of less than 4% of its expenses; more than 96% of all donations go directly to programs that help the poor.
