Our first major service area in 2011 was the organization of Haiti-based continuing medical education and leadership conferences for Haitian physicians and nurses. Over 75 Haitian health professionals attended the largest of these conferences (held in December 2011 in Port-au-Prince), and we held three smaller conferences during the year for approximately 20-30 participants each time. 0 4999 Our second major program service was the construction of a classroom to enable computer-based learning by Haitian physicians (The Alexander Fleming Class) in Port-au-Prince. Housed in a private space in Port-au-Prince, this learning area consists of four laptop computers (with locks) and a projector (all purchased and donated by our organization) and enables the class to participate in distance learning activities. This classroom is open to the entire Alexander Fleming Class, consisting of 67 Haitian physicians. 3028 X 3028 Our third major program service area is the provision of travel and project grants to Haitian physicians. In fiscal year 2011, we funded three trips by Haitian physicians to the US for educational purposes, funded the participation in US- or Haiti-based conferences of seven Haitian physicians, and provided a grant to a group of young Haitian physicians (the Alexander Fleming CLass) for the purpose of supporting their work on a local health project in Haiti. We estimate that approximately 25 Haitian physicians were served by this portion of our activities in 2011. 3127 X 3127 11154 Zadok Sacks 9 Devotion St Apt B Brookline MA 02446 20 0 0 0 Michelle Morse 99 Pond Ave Apt 221D Brookline MA 02445 20 0 0 0 Marisa Nadas 5 Columbus Square Apt 3 Boston MA 02116 10 0 0 0 James Hudspeth 151 Tremont St Cambridge MA 02139 10 0 0 0 Leon David 94 Eastern Ave Apt 2 Malden MA 02148 5 0 0 0 Jill Caporiccio 26 Tip Top Terrace Waltham MA 02452 5 0 0 0 Babette Witkind Davis 54 Sullivan Street First Floor Biddeford ME 04005 10 0 0 0 Paul Farmer 641 Huntington Ave Boston MA 02115 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MA Zadok Sacks PO Box 1575 Brookline MA 02446 8054534212 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 521 19888 20409 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 521 19888 20409 20409 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20409 360 X F99Z_P00_S00_L0B Form 990-EZ, Header, Line B Our organization previously filed Form 990-N for the 2011 fiscal year, but Massachusetts requires filing of Form 990-EZ.
