Me and my boxes!
Today 45 boxes that I sorted and labeled were picked up from my house. In addition, I also sent some other boxes that weren't sorted yet. These boxes were full of OR and anesthesia supplies and equipment bound for Jacmel, Haiti where I will be going by the end of the week.
Thanks also to Raj Singh for an anesthesia machine and Donna Young for supplies from Keystone Quality Transport. Thanks also to the people who put me in touch with them. (You know who you are!)

Why Haiti?
I have been in touch with several groups and lots of people about volunteering in Haiti after the massive earthquake on January 12th. Some people asked why I would want to go. I answer, if I can go and I don't, who will?
My house is overflowing with donations that I have received over the past week or more. Some were originally intended for my upcoming return visit to Ethiopia, but they will be redeployed.
The need seems immense, almost overwhelming, but with the goal of going to Haiti it is easier for me to focus and continue to sort things, write emails, call people, ask for supplies.
I know I will miss someone, but I want to start thanking the people who have donated items and helped me:
Abington Memorial Hospital
Red Lion SurgiCenter/ Doc Bressler's Cavity Busters
Cresheim Dental Associates
Chestnut Hill Dental Associates
Healing the Children, Greater Philadelphia
I am sure there are more.
Back to packing! More later
