EWB and Haiti

As people try to find ways to contribute to helping the victims of Haiti's devistating earthquake, many have naturaly turned to EWB. While EWB is not a disaster relief organization, the problems created by the earthquake in Haiti will require long term engineering solutions long after the world's attention has turned from immediate humanitarian disaster. Therefore, for those looking to help Haiti in a long-term way through EWB we invite you to donate to EWB-USA Haiti teams through their site. This link lists several professional and student chapters that are currently working to improve the lives of Haitians.
