I have been searching the internet for 3 days with no luck. His desire is to be of help in the current relief effort in Haiti. Ron Driggs is a Sr IT Director (Implementation and Customer Management) for a fortune 500 high tech manufacturing company with around 200,000 employees, with 28 years experience in his field. (Ron was employee #154) Athough he is an IT Director, his roots are in the manufacturing side of the business. He has the backing of his CIO to take a short term leave if necessary. A small list of his more pertinent qualifications include, but are not limited to: Domestic and International Supply Chain Management, Forward and Reverse Logistics Solutions, Change Management and the ability to implement recommended changes. Currently drives Best Practices for his company. Able to Assess and articulate the challenges that come up with any fast, chaotic deployment. Has implemented 58 factories in several countries on ERP Systems in record breaking time frames. Business proccesses assessment and recommendations, and consulting. Routinely works in an international setting, and most of his direct report employess live and work in countries other than the US. Used to responding to high alert emergencies that require immediate international attention. Has trained and led up to 32 teams concurrently. Outstanding ability to bridge conflicting visions and bring people/teams together under a single goal. He is one of the best in his business and is highly regarded among his peers worldwide. Holds valid US Passport. If you are, or know of, an organization that can use his talents to help with the relief effort in Haiti, please email me, as I am acting as his admin/liason in this venture.

It is a wonderful organization that I have donated to in the past for their education efforts, but I wonder whether they have the capacity to respond to a catastrophe of this magnitude. I could not find any information to suggest that they have the capabilities necessary to do much with the funds so many people here in the US have been sending. To prevent any issues that could lead to yele.org tarnishing its reputation, I would suggest blogs stop directing people there. My research reveals that Partners in Health, Doctors without Borders, Americares.org, MercyCorps and Unicef appear to be the best ways to donate money to Haiti relief efforts. They have great reputations, have proven to be efficient with their use of donated funds, and they have experience in responding to natural disasters such as this earthquake that devastated my native country. Furthermore, Angelwish has pledged to match people's donations to Partners in Health.

Please keep me informed if this is a possibility and what i would need to do to get involved. Thank you. I just want to help, but have no money to really donate. I only have myself and I will offer that. I googled this in an effort to figure out how to get down there and help.
