Hamptom Forum Follow-up
Shortly after discussing relief and development efforts in Haiti at the ONE Global Poverty Forum at Hampton University, Rep. Bobby Scott (D, VA-3) boarded a plane to see the on-going humanitarian operation for himself! It was announced today that Rep. Scott is leading a congressional delegation to the recovering country. Turns out that the ONE forum could not have been more timely – fellow panelist, Gen. Ron Sconyers, gave the congressman some pointers for his trip based upon Physicans for Peace’s experience on the ground.
ONE thanks our partners at Physicians for Peace and Congressman Bobby Scott for their efforts to help the people of Haiti. As ONE members, we have to continue our advocacy efforts to support long-term development goals for Haiti and for countries throughout the developing world. Click here to take action!
