Want to really help Haiti? Listen to the Bartman

Well, it looks like the Crappiest Place on Earth (C) TM, aka Haiti, has just become crappier.

If you're like me, you've read (or listened to the audiobook version of) Mountains Beyond Mountains, the story of an American doctor setting up a comprehensive health system in rural Haiti, and setting new standards for eradication of XDRTB (extreme drug-resistant tuberculosis) at the same time.

Well, the organization this doctor started, Partners in Health, is the real deal. If you really want to help out Haiti, your dollars couldn't go to a better place than here.

And incidentally, if you haven't read or listened to Mountains Beyond Mountains yet, I highly suggest it.
