Stand With Haiti

As I'm sure you know, Haiti was struck by a catastrophic earthquake last week. The lack of infrastructure and enormous level of poverty have made this disaster particularly devastating. As you may also know, Dartmouth President Jim Yong Kim is one of the founders of Partners In Health, an organization that has been working on health-related projects in Haiti for over 20 years.

Although the earthquake is tragic, it has been inspiring to see the way the Dartmouth community has mobilized help the Haitian people. There is one team of Dartmouth medical professionals already in Haiti and another is departing this week.

Student leaders have organized a group called Students at Dartmouth for Haiti Relief (SDHR). Normally I try not to post a list of links, but this is a special circumstance. I hope everyone will consider donating to Partners In Health, as this organization is one of the few working Haiti with the previously established resources to efficiently care for people.
