I think that country will be forever be poor, no thanks to the Haitian elite and corrupt government.

I think it arranges them to see 95% of their own people lack money, keeps them in power.

To them, I'm sure, when they hear that the country will receive foreign aid, they call among each other and say "paycheck time!"

Haiti is getting screwed by the UN/IMF/World Bank/NWO , Super Rich, Inbred Eugenicists control the whole show . They are using Haiti (and other countries) as a testbeds for the horror show that is going to be brought to the fore all over the world in the next few years. Wise up. Type "Alan Watt Cutting Through The Matrix" into a search engine.

(PART 3) Haiti and pass out badly needed supplies and aid. Just look online for organizations that have done this before and suggest to your church, school or organization to do the same. I think that is really cool you wanna help. but if you do so do it geniunely. You already have proved to be a unique person on this comment board of bickering people who would rather fight than ask the question "what can I do?".... cause i know that all of us on here can do better.

peace

(PART 2) You can't help someone if you don't know anything about them! so research! but don't just read what someone else writes about the hatians listen to them personally too! As stated in the video many of the U.S. govt, WB and IMF policies have furthered the suffering of Haitians.Its important that people raise awareness and hold these institutions accountable or at least seek to alter these policies. Lastly if your really intereseted there is numerous charity/christian groups who go to...

(PART 1) lol. I know this is a month late... but yep there is many things that one can do to help. lots of people want you to believe that outsiders can do nothing and that the suffering of hatians is normal and inevitable however all it really takes to help is a strong commitment, knowledge and love. In order to really help you will need to do more than just donate or throw money at the island. Learn about the hatians and from the hatians. Their history and their dreams for the future...
