SCHAUMBURG, Ill., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- The television networks have long vanished since broadcasting nightly stories following the catastrophic 7.0 earthquake which struck Haiti on January 12. But the humanitarian effort continues around-the-clock as Haiti struggles to recover and begin rebuilding. With INX International Ink Co. executive Greg Stromberg coordinating efforts through his CannedWater4Kids (CW4K) project, the collaboration of several Midwestern-based can manufacturing companies delivered an unprecedented response to a crisis that has affected an estimated three million people.

After a first shipment in late February, a second shipment of water supplies was distributed on March 18 to a hospital and orphanage in Haiti. Stromberg said four truckloads of the 12-ounce cans of water were shipped, amounting to 166,320 cans. The cans were produced by three major can companies - Ball Corporation of Milwaukee, Crown Cork & Seal in La Crosse, Wis., and Rexam in St. Paul, Minn. Another Minnesota company, Cold Spring Brewery, filled the recyclable cans with pure spring water from a 300-year-old underground glacier.
