- Where has all this aid been for the last 20 - 50 years?!? Support organizations that have been in there for years working to build infrastructure - like http://www.haitisupport.org/our-mission
Mathilde is from Haiti but lives with her husband on St. Croix, USVI. They have been working to better the lives of the rural haitans for years.
They go and do the work themselves - they have family that lives there. - Reply to this comment
- I wonder why it's okay for the Haitian government to be dependent on other countries and receive hundreds of millions of dollars a year in aid but it is not okay for the Haitian people to receive aid directly.
It is free enterprise that has destroyed the rice, beans, chicken, egg market in Haiti not free aid. - Reply to this comment
- When government interferes in the free market with subsidies of all kinds, you get an economic system called cronyism. It is incredibly wasteful and destructive. By putting their farmers out of business, Haiti is being set up for perpetual famine like many african nations. This is well known, yet it is done all over the world. They should just hire haitians to sweep, clean up and rebuild and pay them cash. No handouts.

- We should help the country of Haiti rebuild to the point they were prior to the earthquake. While it would be "nice" to make it much better - give them what they didn't have before - they as a country and a people are not prepared to live like that at this point. We have to allow their own country workings to resume as they were. This is how they lived. Yes, improvements need to happen there (even prior to the disaster) but there are groups that have been working there - and in the countryside villages of Haiti - to help the people put infrastructure, schools, medical clinics,etc. in place. Contribute to those organizations. It has to be done over time.
What we have in the USA and the rest of the non-3rd world countries is NOT what is going to work for them now or in the near future. You can paint a chicken coop all pretty, make it out of the best materials - but in the end, it's still just a chicken coop. They just aren't prepared to handle some of what we feel is needed there. They need clean water, they need infrastructure - but when we go messing too much at one time - it does disrupt the economics that have been at play there (and need to be in play for ppl to survive there) for years. - Reply to this comment
- ....ah yes, the poor displaced persons apparently have sufficient money to purchase food and health care...why should anyone help countries like this? No matter what anyone tries to do to come to the aid of others in a time of disaster, the government of those countries invariably whine, moan and complain. And then when aid stops and they need help again, they whine, moan and complain, but this time because of no aid and no one helping them. Haiti should be ignored and left to its own devices, regardless of the outcome.
