Members Quick to Respond to Haiti's Earthquake Disaster
If you haven't yet responded to the crisis in Haiti but want to respond, consider these suggestions:
- Donating money is the quickest way to make a difference, and donating to the AAFP Foundation's Disaster Relief -- International fund ensures that your money is used properly. In the face of media reports about Haiti charity scams, it's reassuring to know that the AAFP Foundation recently received the four-star "exceptional" rating from Charity Navigator, the largest charity evaluator in the United States. Furthermore, the Foundation passes on its international disaster relief donations only to HHI and IMC, partners that have established so-called memoranda of understanding with the foundation and proven track records in disaster relief.
- If you want to work as a medical volunteer, you can take steps now to get into the volunteer pipeline of HHI or IMC. You may not make it to Haiti in the near future, but you'll be available in the system for deployments later on. There's no doubt that Haiti will need volunteers for years to come as it rebuilds its health care system. Contact Alex Ivanov, the AAFP's international activities manager, to receive information on volunteering with HHI and IMC and to have your contact information entered in a database of AAFP members interested in serving as international medical volunteers.
