Whenever there is a cry for help, Francesca’s owner Sal Reina will step up to the plate and do something. His best friend’s mother and father are from Haiti and still have family members there. And while Reina’s friend’s family was not affected by the devastating Hurricane Matthew, millions more in the country were.

In an effort to help the many farmers who lost their crops because of the hurricane, several well-known chefs are participating in a relief effort called The Root Project, which aims to plant one million coffee and cacao trees in Haiti. When Reina learned that some of the chefs that he admires are doing it, he jumped on board to help. From March 18 to March 31, Reina is donating $1 from each pizza sold at Francesca’s to The Root Project.

After a prolonged drought, Hurricane Matthew was the worst hurricane to strike Haiti in more than 50 years, destroying 100 percent of crops in some areas and leaving 1.4 million people in need of immediate humanitarian aid.

The Root Project’s goal is: “to raise $500,000 to plant at least 1 million native coffee and cacao trees that will put Haitian farmers back to work. We want to build resilience and protect Haiti’s rich agricultural history, particularly through support for coffee and cacao production. The goal is to give farmers the tools to build a sustainable livelihood that will build long-term economic growth in Haiti.”

Reina’s two Chef idols who are leading the way in the Root Project are Dominique Crenn and Andrew Zimmern.

    Best Relaxation Massage For Each Zodiac Sign. Every sign of the zodiac is associated with a different body part, which means that this part of the body is the most sensitive for them. Naturally, each one of the twelve zodiac signs also has their own favorite massage type, aimed at relaxing their specific sensitive areas. These are: Aries .Those born under the sign of Aries tend to accumulate more stress around the head due to the fact that their heads are always full of ideas.Therefore, when it comes to massage, nothing beats a relaxing head and scalp massage for Aries. Head massage with a focus on the forehead will be the most satisfying and therapeutic massage for Aries. Taurus.Taurus is a sign that rules physical pleasure, so Taureans love indulging in a relaxing massage, especially after a long day at work. When Taurus is stressed, all the tension goes to their neck area which makes them feel sore and stiff.So, these people could really benefit the most from a deep neck and face massage. Aromatherapy is also recommended in this case.Gemini.Gemini is a sign that rules the hands, arms, and shoulders. Those born under the sign of Gemini can release a lot of tension and improve blood flow by having a gentle hand or shoulder massage. Also, Gemini tends to have a sensitive nervous system, so a whole body massage once in a while can really help to calm their nerves.
