Diphtheria Epidemic Threatens Haiti -- Help Through Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization
If you've been to a recent Pearl Jam show, you may have heard Eddie speaking about J/P HRO (Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization).
Haiti continues to need our help as a deadly diphtheria epidemic threatens the country. Check out the latest in an interview with Sean Penn and Anderson Cooper http://jphrodonate.org/multimedia/31-an ... 360-582010

About JPHRO:
Founded by actor and humanitarian Sean Penn and philanthropist Diana Jenkins, who has since moved on to other philanthropic efforts, J/P HRO began its work just hours after the earthquake hit. Through their previous relief efforts—including Sean's experience helping to rebuild New Orleans after hurricane Katrina—they had amassed a large network of emergency management and government contacts, who they mobilized to take immediate action in Haiti.
Less than a week after the disaster, J/P HRO was on the ground in Haiti, bringing much needed medical supplies and a team of doctors. Their team immediately went to work, treating patients, delivering medical supplies and equipment, and providing food to numerous camps and orphanages.
In the months since the earthquake, they have built a strong network of doctors and emergency management volunteers who have made tremendous progress on the ground. This team includes many Haitian employees, including translators, security, drivers, doctors, and nurses.
Among J/P HRO's many accomplishments, they have recently taken over management of the United Nations International Organisation for Migration (UNIOM) refugee camp of over 50,000 people in Petionville. J/P HRO is now overseeing the relocation of IDPs over the coming weeks to protect them from the rain and mudslides in their current location.

For those of you who saw Pearl Jam this tour, just think of how privileged we are. Donate what you can: Money, your time, it all helps.

I live on a fortnight to fortnight cheque, and even then, have to 'chit' bread,milk and dogfood at the local petrol station.
I put gold coins in the local " Good Samaritans", but thats about it for now.
I just hope in the meantime, some of you will help where it's needed.
long live PJ
Count me in for a donation, and one in honor of Jo as well!

And why does it still only have a few posts and hardly any bumps?

I see your point and I know many people in this country feel the same way.
But also this is a Pearl Jam board and Sean Penn has allot to do with raising funds for Haiti. And Sean is a SUPER good friend of Ed's.
AND we know this fundraising is all legit compared to some others that go around.
