Help for Haiti

If you're looking for a great organization to donate to, please consider 
Paul Farmer's organization, Partners in Health (PIH).
http://www.standwithhaiti.org/haiti  -or- www.pih.org/

I donated personally {after doing my due diligence}.
The PIH Vision: Whatever it takes
At its root, our mission is both medical and moral. 

It is based on solidarity, rather than charity alone. 
When a person in Peru, or Siberia, or rural Haiti falls ill, 
PIH uses all of the means at our disposal to make them well
—from pressuring drug manufacturers,
to lobbying policy makers, to providing medical care 
and social services. 
Whatever it takes. 
Just as we would do if a member of our own family
—or we ourselves—were ill.
