Help for the Quake Victims in Haiti

BOMB contributor Edwidge Danticat suggests which organizations to donate to:

I am encouraging folks to support organizations that are already on the ground and can immediately start helping people. Organizations like Partners in Health, http://pih.org, Doctors Without Borders http://doctorswithoutborders.org/ and the American Red Cross, http://www.redcross.org/

Thank you again for your kind thoughts,

Edwidge
