Partners In Health builds new hospital in Haiti
Jul 13, 2010
Rosemary Jones
When the 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Port-au-Prince, Partners In Health was one of the first responders on the scene. This longtime charitable partner of GreaterGood.org has worked for more than 20 years in Haiti, not only providing healthcare to its poorest residents but also employment to hundreds of Haitian healthworkers.
On July 3, 2010, Partners In Health and their Haitian partner Zanmi Lasante broke ground for a new hospital. The Mirebalais Hospital will serve as a world-class teaching hospital and an important part of PIH's ongoing efforts to improve Haiti's public health sector. When complete, the hospital will have 320 beds and will offer clinical facilities not available at any public site in the country.
"For some of us, this hospital is the culmination of a dream dating back a quarter-century, and underlines our commitment to the country and people of Haiti, which is stronger than ever after the earthquake," said Dr. Paul Farmer, one of the founders of Partners In Health, " It is also a manifestation of our integrated model of research, teaching and service, and will serve as a site for all three. Mirebalais is being developed by a broad coalition which includes hundreds of individuals, several foundations, private corporations, Harvard teaching hospitals including Brigham and Women's, Harvard Medical School, and of course our Haitian colleagues at ZL and the Ministry of Health. We are fortunate to be building upon the lessons learned in ZL's long experience of building infrastructure in Haiti, and to have the support of many old and new partners in this essential effort."

Joshua Foust is a fellow at the American Security Project and the author of Afghanistan Journal: Selections from Registan.net. He is also a member of the Young Atlanticist Working Group. More
Joshua's research focuses on the role of market-oriented development strategies in post-conflict environments, and on the development of metrics in understanding national security policy. He has written on strategic design for humanitarian interventions, decision-making in counterinsurgency, and the intelligence community's place in the national security discussion. Previous to joining ASP, Joshua worked for the U.S. intelligence community, where he focused on studying the non-militant socio-cultural environment in Afghanistan at the U.S. Army Human Terrain System, then the socio-cultural dynamics of irregular warfare movements at the National Ground Intelligence Center, and later on political violence in Yemen for the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Joshua is a columnist for PBS Need to Know, and blogs about Central and South Asia at the influential blog Registan.net. A frequent commentator for American and global media, Joshua appears regularly on BBC World, Aljazeera, and international public radio. Joshua is also a regular contributor to Foreign Policy's AfPak Channel, and his writing has appeared in the New York Times, Reuters, and the Christian Science Monitor.

I kind of feel the same way. I got probably 3/4 through and got exasperated by its constant efforts to sidetrack me from the main campaign ("please play this little concert for this or that good cause").
I played it a little the other day and noticed that the calibration seemed a bit off. Sadly, it doesn't seem to have auto-calibration (or maybe it can only be invoked while playing with a guitar with the auto-calibration sensors). I think I'll try the RB3 auto calibrated numbers.

Hi all,
Been checking out the posts here for a while but never felt the need to post as i've found out most of the answers through the search! great site.
Anyway, I bought my first board about 3 months back and hit the waves. I decided on a take off 6'10" big boy shortboard as I thought i'd jump in at the deep end and try my luck! Actually getting on with the surfing side OK, been out once or twice a week since buying it and just starting to ride the green waves if I can get out the back!
The reason for my post is that I am having issues with my board its an epoxy board so thought it would be fairly strong, but since having it I have had to do 2 repairs on it already. I only surf sandy beaches in cornwall, and have never hit a rock or another board as being a newbie i try and stay out of the way of everyone else for everyones safety!
So first the nose got a crack in it on the rail edge, ok i thought I must have hit the bottom or something. I got some solerez and fixed it up, but as I cut the broken patch out I noticed wood??? It looks like there is a thin layer of wood between the foam and the fibreglass? I have experience in fibreglassing as I am building a boat, so i would have thought the glass would be bonded to the foam like all the other boards I have seen. has anyone ever heard of this type of construction before? I can only presume it is a cheap way to stiffen up the deck to try and prevent pressure dings, but it doesn't work as there are quite a few on there already.
Now on friday I came out after 2-3ft session, only to find the tail had split, this time I most definately didnt hit anything, it loks like its just split. I rubbed the paint away and it looks like, because the edge is square, there is no mat wrapping around the tail from top to bottom, instead the fibreglass mat on the top stops and so does the bottom mat, then the gap in between is just filled with resin? I am led to belive this is standard practise on epoxy boards but i'm not convinced this is a good way to do so as the resin without fibres is bound to be a weak spot in the design, and as proven by my board, will crack ?
Finally, anyone ever approached the manufacturers about a bad quality board, or have any idea where i would stand, I paid £350 for this board, and it looks like it'll be in the bin by next summer at this rate.
any help much appreciated

How many cups of sun-dried tomatoes equate to 10? I'm using dried cherry tomatoes.
1. If you are using dry sundried tomatoes, soak your sundried tomatoes for at least one hour. Drain and pat dry before using. (If your sun-dried tomatoes are packed in oil you don't need to do this.)
2. Simply add all ingredients to the food processor and blend until it become the consistency of the photo above.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
I have been a vegetarian since 2001. Once I went vegetarian I immediately replaced meat with soy products.
One of the most difficult parts of my transition to the raw lifestyle has been to give up the soy and tofu products that were staples in my husband's and my diet.
As you can tell by the ingredients, this raw taco meat recipe is quite small. Double up as necessary. I seem to like small recipes because I am thrifty and I want to try a small batch before I invest 2 cups of this or that into a recipe that doesn't turn out well.
This raw taco meat recipe has been an excellent, hearty base and my husband loves it--more than I do, even.
I often spread this recipe on romaine lettuce, and I top it with tomatoes and fresh sprouts. Sprouted adzuki beans go surprisingly well with this recipe.

i just got done eating this..let me tell you it was delicious...i made a zucchini boat and filled it with your taco meat,drizzled some of your ranch dressing and enjoyed...it was very tasty but the next time i make it i will make it a little spicier like maybe add some hot peppers...i love spicy ..thank you so much for this recipe...loved it
Great stuff!! Do you soak the walnuts first on use them dry. I have been meatless for about 30 days right after my 38th birthday & loving it. I'm not a great cook, but I want to learn more about how to make simple raw meals. Thanks!!!
Do you think cashews would work well as a substitute for the walnuts? Unfortunately I am allergic to walnuts, but really want to try this recipe! Thanks!
Just made this! It was quick! I'll be serving it for lunch soon... do you serve it hot or cold?

This is my favorite raw recipe that I've tried! I've been eating raw for a little I've a week now and I know I'll be making this a lot. Love it!
This recipe (as so many others have) surprised me! AWESOME with my corn chips! :) Another fav for my list! :)
Loved it! Turned out just right for me. Have a friend who is not vegetarian. She tried it. Says she will make it at home also.
My husband and I eat a paleo diet, but I come here often for raw recipes. I am pregnant with our second and have been so nauseas I've had to introduce some bread back into my diet, which my skin reacts horribly too. I made this for breakfast this morning on a piece of romaine and it was just the mild, salty, hearty meal that my sensitive tummy needed. If you're struggling with morning sickness I definitely recommend this!
OMG! I made these in less than 5 minutes and my family is in LOVE! I happened to have a jar of Trader Joes Julienned packed in oil sundried tomatoes so I used half the jar and omitted the olive oil. I also increased the chili powder to about 1/2 TBLS. Filled a romaine leaf, topped it with avocado slices...... heaven on earth! Thank you!!!!
I spread this taco meat on almond pulp crackers (the pizza recipe) and I added the cashew sour cream on top. I went nuts! Muy sabroso!
Thank you!!!
I really like this! I thought Taco Bell was one of those things I was going to miss! I didn't quite soak the tomatoes for a full hour. I used 10 pieces, I think they were halves. I forgot to put in the oil. I used a cup total of walnuts, pecans, cashews, and some sunflower seeds, because I didn't have a whole cup of walnuts. I was afraid it was going to taste like ketchup because that's what it smelled like processing. A whole tablespoon of cheap (probably dollar store) chili powder, a couple shakes of Penzey's chipotle pepper. I put it on a soft taco shell (not raw, I know, I'm new to this) with a slice of avocado, and it's AWESOME!
I love your website and this recipe. I'm sorry if this question has previously been asked and answered. How long can this dish be stored if refrigerated?
I love this recipe!! I'm going to make it for a "Raw Mexican" food potluck my friends and I are having soon. One friend cannot tolerate nuts, so I'm going to substitute sunflower seeds instead. I know the taste will be different, but hopefully it will still turn out well!
My boyfriend is allergic to walnuts, pecans, and hazelnuts what can I substitute in your recipes for those?
It was awesome but I hate the smell of sundried tomatoes! Do you have any idea what to do about it? And how do you wrap the lettuce?
Is it ok to ask why you decided to become a vegetarian?? And then after that a rawtarian?? :-)
just made those for fillings on some RAWsome marinated albergine canellonis <3 SO good!
I added some pine nuts and a bit of tahini and garlic to the mix. cant thank you enough <3
Dear Laura-Jane.
What a brilliant website you have! I have spent the last two days on it trying to figure out how to get started on the raw journey (after the arrival of my new vitamix :-))
I made cashew milk this morning - yum!!
I have such a basic question that it seems rather silly, but I am reading through the wonderful dinner recipes like taco 'meat' and zucchini pasta and I am very much wondering how you heat these to serve? Or if you do at all? Do you serve heated? If yes, please tell me how?!?!? hahah
Thank you so much and look forward to hearing from you
I am definitely going to make this one. I have been searching for a mushroom free version of vegi mince and at last here is one. I can't stand mushrooms :)
My parents came over for dinner and I made these for them to try,they loved them! My super picky meat eating husband loved them too! Soooooo good!
Hallo!! I was so tired of eating just an apple or just carrots...so I googled raw food recipes and your page came up. I made this dish last week and I just have to tell you... I LOVE IT! Everything about it was delicious!! Thank you so much for this website...so many wonderful choices and they all seem fairly easy (I have a fantastic talent for destroying food in the kitchen). I'm going to try the macaroni and cheese next! THANK YOU SO MUCH! A big hug to you!
Frankfurt, Germany
This is one of my favourite recipes! Thank you! Thank you! I usually have it on a salad:
just on a simple bed of crunchy lettuce with shredded carrots -no dressing - is amazing and quick. The taco meat seasons the salad.
Also super good with tomatoes, avocado, and lime juice added to the salad, and macadamia sour cream if you want to get super fancy :)
My sun dried tomatoes are in oil should I skip the soaking part? And how long will the taco mixture keep in the fridge?
Hi I just tried the raw taco meat and it tastes like walnuts with chili seasoning am I doing something wrong?
This was so-so good thank for this,really helps with my began transition. So delicious and reminds me of real taco meat (not that I miss it :)) A++
This was amazing! I didn't add any oil to keep it light, and it still was so good. I stuffed it inside a red bell pepper for lunch and it was fantastic :)
Serious perfection. I didn't bother to measure the spices because it's my opinion that a girl cannot have too much spice. :] First time I made it, I used the oil-packed sun dried tomatoes, and it turned out very rich and divine. By the third time, I started adding a whole jalapeno and the regular sun dried tomatoes. Still divine. Soooooooooo much better than TVP, it is really quite incredible. Thank you again for a fantastic recipe!
I didn't follow the recipe EXACTLY but it eventually came out so good I had to make myself stop eating it. :-) Had it wrapped in lettuce leaves.
This is the second raw recipe I've tried, after trying some raw fettucini alfredo and zucchini noodles. I've been desperately looking for good recipes that didn't have a thousand obscure, expensive ingredients and which would thrill my picky palate. I love this one! Thank you so much!
Is there a way to make "taco meat" without the nuts? They're expensive and I hear they're fatty.
I just made this and put it in a green pepper like you suggested, AMAZING!!!!! Thank you so much for this recipe!!
Hands-down, THHHEEEE BEST taco recipe. My 12 year old daughter (who is not raw, nor vegetarian) gave this her seal of approval!! Blows away other recipes with namo shoyu. I did add some cumin. GREAT WORK!!!
I was so down on the recipes I've been using lately. Either boring or they just didn't turn out like I hoped. Until tonight! Thank you for the boost! This recipe was AMAZING! Definitely keeping this as my go-to recipe when entertaining meat eaters. So good :)
Tried this tonight for dinner with raw sour cream. We dehydrated it lightly before serving it with corn tortilla, green leaf lettuce leaves, and some vegan cheddar cheese. I hope to find a raw tortilla recipe soon though it did bring it all together taste wise. Very good recipe! I added fresh garlic to mine. Thanks for posting!
Absolutely delicious! I made the first batch, tasted it and immediately began gathering the ingredients for a second batch! I added garlic and chipotle pepper to mine. My husband raved about it today :)
um, found this on pinterest and am doing a raw cleanse. am SO glad i found it, it's SUPER tasty. mine looks more red than brown but it had a really great flavor. glad to have found your site.
i made these tacos and added rehydrated red poblanos from my garden... topped with cashew sour cream, sprouts and fresh salsa soooo good!! my teenager and boyfriend loved them. thanks!!!
Hi Laura-Jane I just wanted to tell you I love all your recipes first off and that I was wondering if you cater?????
This recipe looks yum, I really want to try it! What do you mean by soaked sundried tomatoes? When I buy them, they are always in a jar of olive oil or so. Will this do or do I need to take them out and wash them?
Hi Laura-Jane!
Oh WOW! I have dabbled with raw food for the past year, but really going for it now. Admittedly I am "weaning" myself onto it as my recipe repertoire improves! I won't be able to get a dehydrator for a while either ...
I just made this (had to mess with the quantities for just little old me!) and had it in corn tortillas (no dehydrator! But better than floury tortillas surely?!) with diced cherry tomatoes, cucumber and onion. It was absolutely delicious! I just went shopping and got some mushrooms ... going to try the soup tomorrow!
I am so thankful for this website! I was worried I would have to live off Raw Pasta forever, with the help of my trusty spiralizer, but I'm speedily learning new dishes so I have no excuse not to get my act together! Thanks Laura-Jayne!
I sure will! I am going to get an empty jelly jar, tape the lid down, put a whole in the top and donate so much a month to The Rehome A Brand New Dehydrator Cause! Meanwhile I'll do my homework on recipes, so by the time that jelly jar gets cracked open I'll be an expert on what to DO with it!
My husband is a meat-eater, but eats a lot of vegetarian dishes which I make, so I am still getting to grips with buying for him and me in one trip to the store, and getting the right stuff, and enough for the week. I think I am getting there!
I will admit, I've been maybe 60-70% raw since Saturday, and already feeling better and I think some weight has disappeared too!
I am so thankful that you have this recipe to share. Every night I cook non-raw food for my family and sometimes I find it hard not to want to try it too. Last night was especially difficult because I made tacos which used to be one of my favorite meals. I remembered seeing your taco meat post and I already had some of your corn and flax chips on hand so I quickly made the taco meat and chopped up some olives, tomatoes, and lettuce. It was perfect! Even better than I imagined and my craving for SAD tacos disappeared.
Thank you so much for sharing another fantastic recipe that helps everyone enjoy and appreciate raw food living!
Thanks for posting this recipe. My mom and I loved it! We're new to the raw food world and this recipe is a great filling, hearty food with a nice flavor (so many possible ways to incorporate it). Looking forward to trying some of your other recipes including the casserole!!
I haven't tried this particular taco meat recipe, but with the sundried tomatoes, it looks far more exciting than the one I've been using.
I like to make "roasted" peppers (ala Ani Phyo) with Poblano peppers and use them as taco shells with cashew cheese, salsa and cilantro.
Thanks SO much. I did double it and wished I would have tripled it! My family absolutely LOVED it, even my boyfriend that was a big meat eater, he couldn't believe how much it tasted like meat..he's trying to do the juicing and raw diet with me and the girls and this recipe sure helped getting him on board :-) Making it again tonight. Its great on pizza too! Would love more of your recipes. Thanks again!!
I love the recipe, but was so dissapointed to see that you were married! I hope to find a raw foodist just like you one day. You are inspiring!
I love walnut-based faux-meats but they get a little expensive if you make them too often, especially if you are using organic walnuts. So I've been working recently with this raw taco meat recipe which uses primarily sunflower seed (although still a little walnut for good measure). It's delicious, and even better I think when dehydrated.
Also, I definitely encourage adding cumin if you like that flavor. And cilantro too, mmmm :)
Glad everyone is enjoying this recipe! :) Yes, it's tomato halves which is how they normally come. Though I've used smaller ones. You can use less or more of most of the ingredients, depending on your preference.
Great website, Laura-Jane. :)
Wow. That looks delicious! Now I'm wishing I hadn't eaten those walnuts on my salads all last week. LOL
I'll definitely be making this one soon! YUM!
I picked up some sundried tomatoes today to try this recipe, but they came in tomato halves. When you say 10 sundried tomatoes, is that 10 sundried halves or 10 whole tomatoes worth (20 halves)?
Yep, that makes sense. Those look like halves as the seeds are exposed.
I gave the recipe a shot assuming 10 halves and it was difficult to get down - I had to use quite a bit of lettuce and tomatoes to mask the taste. I think I overdid the cayenne/chili powder.
Have you tried the "taco meat" recipe that calls for coriander and cumin?
Or this one?
Now this is a recipe I've been searching for a long time, actually... I am also trying to learn how to make soft corn taco shells so I can make raw tacos for dinner. I LOVED tacos as a child and always got a thrill out of sinking my little teeth into a corn taco shell bursting with tomatoes, diced greens, onions, sour creme and spicey taco meat.
The idea of being able to enjoy a LIVING, Raw version of a favorite childhood food is very appealing, and dare I say it... acceptable! ;)
Thank YOU for sharing the recipe!
