The Crisis in Haiti

YAI and its staff are in full support of organizations working to help the victims of the Haitian disaster. Since we don’t work directly in Haiti, we would like to offer our support of Partners in Health. Partners in Health has been working in Haiti for over 20 years and is currently responding to the crisis by providing health care, physicians, and supplies to the people devastated by last weeks’ earthquake. For more information about Partners in Health, or to donate, please visit  their website http://www.standwithhaiti.org/haiti
