Haiti

So I have a GREAT opportunity to go to Haiti this summer with a group of Docs and med students to set up field clinics. All I have to buy is a plane ticket and $200 to pay for our lodging/food/etc. from the camp. AND I'll get about $600 funding from various academic travel grant sources. So all in all I would only need like $400.

Which isn't so much. Unless you consider the fact that I still have a $5000 deficit. This SUCKS!

Boo!

    How are they housing the volunteers? NPR recently discussed the issue of volunteers becoming more of a problem than a help due to the lack of shelter, food, and water for the volunteers. The AMA even suggesting holding off until conditions improve, which currently sounds like next year sometime. Right now, there is more a need for funding than bodies.

    Keep the opportunity on the back-burner. I am sure there will be another chance. Maybe the finances will be there too.

    Focus on physiology. Haiti will always be there.
