State of Place

…and you’re not a trained disaster relief worker, please consider donating the money you would have put towards a trip to one of the following charities already working in Haiti:

Direct Relief International (Charity Navigator report)

Partners in Health (Charity Navigator report)

Doctors Without Borders (Charity Navigator report)

“After the initial rush to get to a disaster site or send material donations, there’s often a lingering need for long-term volunteers that goes unnoticed.”

Disclosure: I have no direct personal connections to nor interest in any aid groups. One friend retired from Doctors Without Borders, and I have friends of friends at Partners in Health.

I have donated to Direct Relief International’s Haiti Earthquake fund.
