Haitian Humanitarian Crisis

Academy Fellow Patricia Fourcand of Montréal was born and raised in Haiti.  She has relatives and friends there who are severely affected and is acutely aware of the desperate need for urgent assistance to the hundreds of thousands, especially children, left homeless and without food, water and medical attention.

A list of key organizations providing relief is included below.  Any contribution which you are able to make to the relief effort would no doubt be greatly appreciated both by Patricia and by those in Haiti in such desperate circumstances.
