It’s now been almost two months since the earthquake hit Haiti. One of the many items that the country’s leaders are asking other nations to help to provide is tents. They need these tents to shelter thousands of homeless victims who have been living on the streets of Port Au Prince.

Just recently, Dr. S. Allen Counter, along with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, stepped up to the task at hand. Dr. S. Allen Counter is a professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and the director of the Harvard Foundation. He delivered over 150 tents to homeless families in the Port Au Prince area.

Each of these tents can house a family of six to eight people, and offer them a temporary, dry dwelling location. Most of these tents were generously donated to Dr. Counter by actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. A dozen were donated by children of the Mariah Baldwin Elementary School in Cambridge
