American volunteers in Haiti
I highly recommend that you bookmark this link. It is the on-going story of some Americans, ex-military and firefighters and medical personnel, who packed up a rucksack and went to Haiti.
“Normal†is a word I wouldn’t really use down here, but I suppose we are developing a little bit of a morning routine. We packed medical supplies, reviewed our possible missions for the day, mixed up oral rehydration salts, and headed out to the general hospital. (No soap opera jokes, please; we’ve told them all several times.)

Please read all the entries, and follow the link to donate. This is America at its best.
