More on Haiti
Just after I hit "publish post," I received two e-mails regarding the situation in Haiti. One was from Pax Christi USA saying that it's not yet possible to communicate with Pax Christi Haiti, but to funnel donations through CRS (see previous post). The second e-mail was from our friends at Partners in Health, who have been asked to join the UN's efforts to aid the sick and injured. Here's that message:
In an urgent email from Port-au-Prince, Louise Ivers, our clinical director in Haiti, appealed for assistance from her colleagues in the Central Plateau: "Port-au-Prince is devastated, lot of deaths. SOS. SOS... Temporary field hospital by us at UNDP needs supplies, pain meds, bandages. Please help us."
Donate now to support our earthquake relief efforts.
The earthquake has destroyed much of the already fragile and overburdened infrastructure in the most densely populated part of the country. A massive and immediate international response is needed to provide food, water, shelter, and medical supplies for tens of thousands of people.
With our hospitals and our highly trained medical staff in place in Haiti, Partners In Health is already mobilizing resources and preparing plans to bring medical assistance and supplies to areas that have been hardest hit.
Both our teams in Boston and Haiti are already mobilizing to deliver resources as quickly as possible to the places where they are needed most.

Earthquake in Haiti: What Can We Do?
Every time a disaster occurs (such as this high-magnitude earthquake in Haiti), we wonder how we can help. The first place I turn is to Catholic Relief Services. Click here to make a donation toward the CRS effort to help in Haiti. Please let me know if you hear of any other efforts, and I'll be sure to post them. I'm sure we'll be hearing from religious communities with members in Haiti. I'll let you know those requests when they come in. In the meantime, don't forget to pray for those affected by this devastating earthquake.
