Summer Reading Series: Week Two
Posted on 07/27/11Welcome to week two of PIH's Summer Reading Series.
This Thursday, we're chatting live online with PIH's Jon Lascher, who helped coordinate some of the first supply shipments for earthquake relief, and is now helping equip our teams for cholera treatment and prevention in Haiti. Also, we're listening to the voice of Dr. Paul Farmer as he reads an excerpt from Haiti After the Earthquake:
In this audio clip from Haiti After the Earthquake, Dr. Paul Farmer reads from the first chapter, "The Catastrophe" (Pages 17-21). He offers his personal account of one night treating patients in Port au Prince while aftershocks were still rocking the capital.
On Thursday, July 28 at 7pm EST, join PIH's Haiti Procurement Manager Jon Lascher for a live online chat. As part of the initial earthquake response, Jon coordinated with many of PIH's partners on the ground to deliver supplies and equipment. Hear more about Jon's personal experience in the field, and participate in the live discussion
Live chat: Thursday, July 28, 2011 – 7 p.m. EDT
