Stand With Haiti

One of the poorest countries in the world has suffered a grave disaster and I believe that it is our moral duty to do something about it. Unfortunately in times of crisis some of the most visible organizations are the ones allocating funds to marketing and PR and not to solving any problems. A few even profit from tragedy. One organization that I have followed for years that is making a dramatic difference is Partners in Health(PIH), an organization founded by Dr. Paul Farmer. For over 20 years PIH has been running free clinics all around the world, the first in Haiti's Central Plateau- one of the poorest parts of Haiti. He believes that medical care for those who need it most should be free and that life saving drugs should be free. After the earthquake because of their deep seeded involvement in Haiti, PIH was one of the first organizations to respond, mobilizing to ship in doctors and medication to confront the tragedy head on. Chef's Lover Catering has donated to PIH and I urge you to do the same if you are looking for a credible organization that will use your donation for good. They have long term plans to rebuild a stronger Haiti, and Chef's Lover Catering, myself and Alex (the Chef) support them wholeheartedly. Stand with Haiti in this time of crisis.
