Hi Julie,

I appreciate the updates. I too am located in the NYC area and am medically trained…. ready to help in anyway possible. Volunteering in Haiti is something I’m definitely willing to do, but while waiting on what the next move will be I’m also available to help in anyway here in NY.

Thanks so much,
AS

Julie and Martha — all really good points. NPR Journalists on today were saying there is almost no fresh water at this point. People are drinking whatever they can get there hands on — soda, condensed milk. A huge influx of volunteers, particularly inexperienced ones, could be pretty disastrous.

Tremendous there are medical professionals like Dr. Kaler who are willing to give their time. I guess the rest of us really should just concentrate on raising money and donations. It’s all we can do at the moment.
