Help for Haiti

I'm linking this from Direct Relief International. Please contribute if you are at all capable of doing so at this time. Direct Relief is a medical aid organization based in my home town of Santa Barbara. As mentioned on their home page, "A recent bequest has enabled Direct Relief to cover all fundraising and administrative expenses from its own funds. All contributions will be used for programmatic work."

In the long run, Haiti will also need to rebuild its highly-degraded ecology to become self-sufficient. I believe that permaculture is the best way to accomplish this goal. Permaculture Haiti is a portal (still under construction) for coordinating efforts and sharing ideas on how to restore Haiti. Please take a look at it and contribute if you can.
