Kind-hearted Barcelona attacker Thierry Henry has gifted thousands of euros to Medecins Sans Frontieres to aid their work in earthquake-struck Haiti.
The Caribbean island has been decimated by an earthquake that struck on Tuesday and measured 7.0 on the Richter scale. Funds have been flowing into appeals from various corners of the globe, but Henry appears especially affected as Guadaloupe, the homeland of his ancestors, has been struck by similar tragedies.
“I am very touched by this tragedy and it's very good that everyone is moving to help Haiti,” Henry told Barca’s official website. “It touches me because almost 20 years ago something similar happened in Guadeloupe and I know what the Haitians must go through. I have many friends there.
“Haiti is a former French colony. It's as if they were cousins. They need help. I felt I had to do something. That's why I decided to donate to Medecins Sans B.”
Medecins Sans Frontieres, which translates to Doctors Without Borders, is an organisation that endeavours to provide free healthcare for all, most notably in disaster struck and war-torn areas of the world. It is an organisation independent of political, religious or economic power.
