Witnessing media reports of the tsunami’s devastation and despair, many BWH employees have been asking “What can we do to help?” That question prompted an employee-driven effort to collect cash donations for the American Red Cross relief efforts.
The effort was organized by Wendy Martinez, executive assistant, Administration. “I read about various civic groups joining together to raise money for the tsunami survivors, and I thought the idea would translate well at BWH,” she added.
Martinez said that the magnitude of the disaster continues to overwhelm her and those she interacts with. “This is just an awful set of circumstances for the victims. Our efforts this week provide a small way for employees to feel like they have helped.”
BWH has dedicated a page on Pike Notes to the tsunami relief efforts. Visit www.bwhpikenotes.org and click on “Tsunami Relief Efforts” on the left side of the homepage.
