If you are interested in sending aid to Haiti, please consider Partners in Health (PIH). PIH has operated clinics and hospitals in Haiti for over 20 years and, in the process, has revolutionized how infectious diseases are treated in poor countries around the world.
In 2008, I wrote about “Mountains Beyond Mountains,” a wonderful Tracy Kidder book that details the career of Dr. Paul Farmer and his Herculean efforts to found PIH and help people in Haiti.

Also, via the Obama administration, you can also text “HAITI” to “90999″ and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts, charged to your cell phone bill.
