Former U.S. Ambassador Steven Green and his wife Dorothea opened the doors of their elegant home in La Gorce for a Project Medishare fundraiser. It was held to raise awareness about the healthcare crisis in Haiti and to raise funds for the work that Project Medishare is doing there. The nonprofit was founded by Dr. Barth Green (no relation to the Greens) and Dr. Arthur Fournier from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The ambassador, his wife and daughter Kimberly have been partners with Project Medishare and advocates for Haiti for the past four years, doing so through their Green Family Foundation, of which Kimberly is president.
