Did you know that Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and the 7th poorest in the world? In light of this, Mafia Wars has teamed up with FATEM, a non-profit organization that works to provide economic advancements for the Haitian community of Mirebalais. To help FATEM and their cause, we’ll be releasing a special Limited Edition item for purchase - the Haitian Drum, available for a limited time starting Sunday, December 20th. 50% of the proceeds from the sale will be contributed to building school kitchens and establishing meal programs for children who might not otherwise have a source of nourishment.

Zynga has already been working with the organization and has helped initiate a kitchen restoration project. In one school, children have started receiving snacks, and as soon as the kitchen is completed in a few weeks they’ll have access to warm meals. Please help Mafia Wars do the same with the remaining schools in that region. Let’s beat hunger in Haiti – beat the Haitian Drum!

On January 12th, 2010, Haiti faced a devastating blow when it got hit by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. The quake destroyed buildings, knocked down power lines, and caused major catastrophe for the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation. In light of the recent devastation the country has faced, Mafia Wars is committed to help the people of Haiti in their relief efforts. We’re proud to bring back the Haitian Drum to Mafia Wars – a Limited Edition item we had released last December to help fund school meals in Haiti.

Zynga and Mafia Wars have already been making efforts to aid Haiti through FATEM, a non –profit organization that works to provide economic advancements for the Haitian community of Mirebalais (www.fatem.org). This time, we’re planning on contributing on a larger scale – 100% of the proceeds from the Haitian Drum purchase will go toward the restoration of the most basic necessities of the people of Haiti who’ve suffered from the devastating quake.
