Haiti

The hospital where I work sent out a notification of agencies that were already in Haiti ahead of the earthquake. Suggestions of where we can send money. One of them was Partners in Health, founded by Dr. Paul Farmer several decades ago. Tracy Kidder wrote about this project, Partners in Health, in his book "Mountains Beyond Mountains" which I read a few months ago. The Partners in Health web site asks that donations be sent to:

So we are sending money to them.

As I send metta to my friend who will have surgery today, I also hold in my heart and mind the people of Haiti.
