The astounding damage to Haiti as a result of the earthquake this past week has made us realize just how fortunate we are.  If you would like to donate to an earthquake relief fund in Haiti, Arlington Young Democrats recommends Partners in Health, an organization founded by an inspiring American doctor that has operated nine clinics in Haiti for twenty years.  Their donation can be found here.  Additional donation opportunities have been documented by the Washington Post and Organizing for America.  We will take up a collection for Partners in Health at our meeting on Wednesday.   If you have questions or suggestions regarding AYDs community service events, please contact Mary Kate Francis at mkfrancis@gmail.com
