We have all been incredibly saddened by the news of the earthquake destruction in Haiti.  Bastyr University graduate Sabine Thomas, ND, who is Haitian-American and has family in Haiti, has teamed up with Natural Doctors International (NDI) to respond to the relief effort, and they need your help.

NDI is coordinating with Dr. ThomasBastyr University, and many other volunteers in the naturopathic community to purchase supplies and organize a disaster relief team to travel to Haiti to give care. Their goal is to fundraise money to create a sustainable effort to send food, medical supplies and teams of interdisciplinary health providers (ND’s, LAC’s, LMP’s, CNM’s, MD’s, ARNP’s, etc) to Haiti.  The official trip date has not been set, but will occur as soon as logistically possible.  If you would like to participate in the trip or volunteer in any way, please email NDI at haiti@ndimed.org.  Donations can be made on the NDI site.
