You know people ask for donations and then the people of haiti dont get it. They still have shit its pathetic I donate and donate to make a change. And it seems like it still looks like what it did before the quake happened. And its been almost a year and nothing? the government lies pure bullshitters. Its like we gotta go other there ourselves to make a change in the haitian lives. Which 1 will one of these days its my goal.

I thought about how Haiti got to the point where it is. Its like we were in war for century and we finally got a big blow. Think about-:

Water supply- low

Food supply low-Farmers paid not to produce

Education-only for the elite

Government- Non existence

Ngo- Foreigners make decision on people they dont know, culture they dont understand.

So USA beeing hit by hurricanes is their own fault also then?

Sandy was a punishment for stealing natural resources from other countries,and polluting their own environment.

[MissAfroditeSands]

From 1915 to 1934 the US administration dismantled the constitutional system, reinstituted virtual slavery for building roads, and established the National Guards that ran the country by violence and terror.

If you paid any attention in school,you would know the real cause of Haïti's problems were caused by USA in the early day's when they were exploiting the country for their sugar cane industry.

[MissAfroditeSands]

If you really want to help Haïti,go buy some dumptrucks and excavators ,and take them overthere.Since your donation money will only provide more decadent toys for the filthy rich.

The rich and the government are a bunch of kleptomaniacs they take the aid and enrich themselves, haiti as far as I am concerned is cursed and it is ashame it would never get better sad very sad.

[AlbertaZanoah]
