Please read a joint statement from me and Todd Shea of CDRS Pakistan, addressed to the Pakistani-American community and published yesterday at:

http://www.aliveandwellinpakistan.com/helphaiti/

Here's an excerpt:

"You, as Pakistanis who are also Americans, and as affluent and highly skilled professionals, can help. Please do help. Many of you are physicians, and your skills could save lives. Those of you who responded after the earthquake in Pakistan have experience that could be invaluable in Haiti…

"Thank you. Let’s make this another finest moment for the Pakistani-American community. As a Haitian woman memorably told the young Paul Farmer, “Tout moun se moun” – all people are people. We’re all human beings, fellow children of God, and we need each other. Right now, millions of suffering Haitians need us."

Thank you for this. I know Tahmena Bokhari, current Mrs. Pakistan World is a specialist in disaster relief, she is still working on the relief in Pakistan. People should connect with her to do something for Haiti. I know she is really passionate about showing the world what Pakistanis are all about. She just came back from the UK. Look her up.
