I work since many years with a humanitarian organization that is currently one of the very few actors fighting the disease. Easy choice actually.
Does the organization perform medical/scientific research in hopes of finding a cure, or does it provide volunteers to Ebola-stricken regions?
I was glad to see a couple of nurses who were recently tested and treated quickly have fully recovered. But, not everyone is so fortunate to know they've likely contracted it before it's too late or to have access to high quality medical care.
Sounds like a very worthwhile effort you've undertaken, lardon.
