Di ou mèsi

For those of you who are following our travels, this is a collective blog about our month long volunteer experience with European Disaster Volunteers in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

After a great deal of debate, we settled upon the name “Chasing Paul Farmer” for our joint blog. We came to this decision because, although we will not literally be chasing Paul Farmer, we will be chasing after what he represents: the spirit of service and human rights for all.

We want to extend a special “thank you” to everyone who helped us make our bags of donations particularly heavy,

In particular, we want to thank European Disaster Volunteers for hosting us. In addition to their commitment to their Haitian community, these individuals are providing us with an irreplaceable experience.

And, thanks to the staff at Polk St Good Vibrations store in San Francisco for providing expertise and assistance for the bulk condom purchases.
