MARK GRAND LODGE DONATES £49,000 TO HAITIAN DISASTER

On 27 January, 15 days after the earthquake, rescuers hauled a girl alive from the ruins of Haiti's capital. Severely dehydrated and so weak she could barely talk, 17-year-old Darlene Etienne managed a whispered 'thank you' to her rescuers...

Following the emergency grants of £30,000 from the Freemasons Grand Charity, the Mark Grand Lodge has sent a donation of £49,000 from the Masonic Benevolent Fund to fund the purchase of 100 "Shelterboxes".
