Peoria Journal Star photo editor involved in efforts to help Haiti
Related Links
After the recent earthquake in Haiti, newspapers around the country looked for connections to the story. The Peoria Journal Star has a connection that's unlike most.
Journal Star photo and graphics editor Eric Behrens (right) is also executive director of Friends of the Children of Haiti, a volunteer group based in Peoria that runs a clinic in Haiti. Eric has been involved with the clinic for quite some time and, under normal circumstances, travels to Haiti twice a year to help out.
After the earthquake, Eric and others from the group went to Haiti to help out. He and others from the group are working at the group's clinic in Cyvadier.
Eric is blogging and sending photos from Haiti to the Journal Star. In addition to that, the newspaper has had several stories in recent days on the group's efforts. See the links to the right for more information.
