  • If you want to help. STOP RIPPING them off. $800 for that thing, are you kidding?

  • @murdelabop Martelly take this idea. I bet you he will lmao move everyone affected from the Capital to the country side and tell them they will have to farm for a house. The money they make working the farm will help agriculture, reforest the country and a portion of thier pay goes for the house their given.

  • @vmstudio2001 True. The problem in Haiti, though, is that temporary huts tend to become permanent homes. At least until the next hurricane. Thermasave, while more expensive, is a more permanent solution, and not subject to the same kind of shoddy building techniques that caused the devastation from building failures.

  • @murdelabop this temporary hut can work

  • For a more permanent solution, look up the Thermasave

    Structural Insulated Panel Building System.

  • If nothing else it's better than living in a tent.

  • mira tu.,deja d apresurar a loke ayudan

  • i love obama.,
