2. I've been trying since yesterday. They are far and away the best |
|
organization to donate to because they are THERE in Haiti, largely staffed by Haitian doctors and nurses. They've been in Haiti 20+ years, have very strong relations with Docs without Borders and all the rest.
Please watch the video.

3. shameless self-promotion because PIH is a HAITIAN organization |
|
in almost every way. A man revered among aid workers, Paul Farmer, started PIH in Haiti. this is the org where your donations will have the most impact.
PLEASE watch Rachel's video.

11. Thanks to all who replied. The original post was lost in the fray of |
|
General Discussion.
I feel so strongly about PIH. I wish someone would promote them again on DU.
