Volunteers heading for Haiti

As mentioned in the Patriot News, a group of volunteers are heading to Haiti over the next couple of days to provide surgeries. They've collected their supplies, gotten their vaccinations, started the anti-malarial pills (chloroquine), and are going to load up the truck tomorrow. The needs in Haiti are tremendous and these folks have done a wonderful job, working with Operation Smile and Partners in Health.

It is encouraging to see top-notch international organizations such as Op Smile and PIH collaborating in this unique way. Operation Smile will provide the surgical 'theater' and supplies, and PIH will provide the in-country expertise and logistics.
