Milton Academy's Haiti Earthquake Relief Campaign |
||
|
If you would like to contribute toward Haitian relief in the name of the Milton Academy community, please consider Partners in Health (the organization founded by Paul Farmer and whose story we read in Mountains Beyond Mountains two summers ago). The scope the disaster 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 nearly 25 years. Its local team is already working to ensure PIH’s 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. PIH/Zanmi Lasante team was also designated by the World Health Organization to serve as the coordinators of the public hospital, Hopital de l' Universite d'Etat d'Haiti (HUEH), where thousands are suffering in need of medicines and surgeries. In this new role, they will be supporting the administration and staff and recruiting other NGOs to help restore services, particularly triage, nursing, and surgical, at the city's central hospital. Please help us make sure that this skilled team has the resources it needs to address the crisis at hand.
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. |
