Bring Aid to Haiti
When colossal disaster strikes, the Vanderbilt community responds with a generosity of spirit and a willingness to serve.
The scope of the Haitian earthquake is truly enormous, and a tremendous influx of immediate aid is needed to avert an even greater loss of life. Partners In Health has been working in Haiti for over 20 years. Its local team is already working to ensure PIHs coordinated relief efforts, leveraging the skills of more than 120 doctors and nearly 500 nurses and nursing assistants who work at established sites throughout Haiti. Vanderbilt Student Government selects Partners in Health for its initial online fundraising effort for Haitian disaster relief because we know that our students' contributions will have an immediate impact in the field. Join us and college students around the nation in supporting medical response efforts in the wake of this tremendous disaster.
Go Dores,
Wyatt Smith
Student Body President
Vanderbilt Student Government
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…
Whatever it takes. Just as we would do if a member of our own family—or we ourselves—were ill.
--Excerpted from the PIH Mission Statement
