"More Bed-Stuy volunteers Haiti-bound as group seeks donations,"
By Jake Pearson - NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

When news of last week's catastrophic earthquake in Haiti reached Commander James (Rocky) Robinson and his group of Bedford-Stuyvesant emergency medical technicians, they knew they had to go.

"We've got (44) members down there now," said Robinson, 69, co-founder and president of the Bedford-Stuyvesant Volunteer Ambulance Corps (BSVAC). Noting that BSVAC spent its last $20,000 equipping the volunteers who flew to Port-au-Prince this weekend, Robinson said: "We're probably the poorest volunteer corps in the nation."
