Dr. Hector Quezad, director of the Dario Contreras Hospital in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, describes the generosity of Dominican women in volunteering to breastfeed haitian infants who have arrived for care without their mothers.

He says: "A lot of infant children have arrived at the hospital without their parents.  They need mother's milk to continue to live.  And some women have volunteered as breast feeders. We have some Dominican mothers who have volunteered their milk to feed these infants. This is a gesture of a generosity and solidarity of mankind."
