Dear Houghton, I write to you from Rwanda, where I have come for the first time since January's devastating earthquake in Haiti. Many of us have been consumed by efforts there--efforts made possible by an outpouring of support for Haiti from partners new and old. When I arrived in Rwanda last week, I was very proud to see the PIH team working together with the Rwandan government, the Clinton Foundation, and thousands of people from the local community to put the finishing touches on what will soon be one of the largest hospitals in East Africa--a world-class teaching hospital that will offer (and teach) the high-quality care we believe all patients deserve. In each of our eleven partner countries, projects like Butaro are realized by communities committed to working together to tackle the issues of poverty and disease. You are part of those communities. Just as in Haiti, the people we serve in Rwanda, Lesotho, Malawi, Peru, Siberia and elsewhere depend on your support of our global efforts. 
http://act.pih.org/please_donate_by_june_30 Staff in each of the countries in which we work have stood in pragmatic solidarity with Haiti over the past six months, doing their utmost to keep their programs thriving so that resources and attention could be focused on the great need there. And now they need us. They need you and me and many others to continue to mobilize with creativity, resourcefulness, and urgency to ensure their programs can be sustained. Please join us. yours,
Paul Farmer
