Another benefit connected with Hawken for Haiti is the Harvard-Haiti Benefit for Partners In Health (PIH), which is based in Boston: "on Friday, February 12, 2010, at 7 p.m. EST. Harvard College students have planned a benefit concert to raise relief funds for Haiti. The concert will be held in Sanders Theatre and simulcast on the web to enable all interested members of the Harvard community -- both on campus and throughout the world -- to participate and to contribute".

I also want to put a plug in for Tracey Kidder's book Mountains Beyond Mountains which includes Paul Farmer and Ophelia Dahl's (Roald's daughter) founding of Zanmi Lasante (creole for Partners in Health)in Cange and subsequent establishment of PIH at Harvard.
