Dear Members of the Harvard Chan School Community:
I am writing to express my deepest sympathy and support for the many members of our community who have friends, family, and colleagues affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. The devastation has caused many thousands of deaths and created a humanitarian crisis of staggering magnitude. Governments and NGOs are pledging aid and mobilizing rescue teams and supplies, but the path to recovery could be a long and arduous one. My heart goes out to all who are affected.
If you’d like to contribute to relief efforts, here is a list of some aid organizations with links to their donation pages:
International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
The Syrian American Medical Society
Union of Medical Relief and Care Organizations
Best,
Michelle
