Saints’ Vilma Meets with UN to Discuss Relief for his Native Haiti

New Orleans Saints LB Jonathan Vilma visited the United Nations headquarters on March 27 to push for funding of hurricane proof housing in his native Haiti. Vilma, as well retired NFL stars Freeman McNeil and Adam Dispirito, met with dignitaries and humanitarians in an effort to ease the fears of people in hurricane affected areas so that they have a safer home when a natural disaster hits.

After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Vilma became an advocate for more affordable hurricane proof housing for the people of New Orleans as well as Haiti. He is pushing to inform others about the cost effective, readily available, hurricane proof materials created by companies that have been around for years.
