ONE call: Crisis, Rebuilding, and Debt Cancellation

Posted on Jan 25, 2010

 

Join PIH’s medical director Dr. Joia Mukherjee and ONE members around the world for an interactive conference call tonight, Tuesday, January 26, at 8PM (EST) to talk about what we can do for Haiti: Crisis, Rebuilding, and Debt Cancellation. Also on the call will be Rep. Maxine Waters, a debt relief champion and driving force for legislative solutions; former Senate Majority leader Dr. Bill Frist, a trained surgeon who just returned from operating in a Haitian field hospital; and David Meltzer, Senior Vice President for International Services for the American Red Cross, also just back from Haiti.

RSVP with your phone number and ONE will call you tonight at 8pm

On the call, experts and participants will share their responses to the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake. The panel will take questions, provide an update on ONE’s “Drop Haiti’s Debt” campaign, and talk about the broader development picture and discuss what can be done to help Haiti rebuild better. Please join us to find out why we need to keep the pressure up and learn about ways that you can help.
