    If people REALLY want to make the world? a better? place - hold cultures/people lke HAITI accountable.

    HAITI is your classic 3rd world shithole - following ALL the standard behavoiirs.

    * HAITI MEN DON'T? WORK

    * HAITI MEN DON'T THINK ITS "COOL" TO WORK

    * HAITI MEN DON'T TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN CHILDREN

    * HAITI MEN? THINK IT'S "COOL" TO FATHER MULTIPLE CHILDREN FROM MULTIPLE? WOMEN

    That's why HAITI is poor - HAITI's OWN BEHAVOIRS that make this country poor.

  • Haiti so-called "aid" is one big stealing racket, only a measly 1% of the money reaches true projects and true people, rest is either blatantly stolen by "project managers" or returns to the economy of the donor country itself.

    Haiti has been occupied by "aid" companies, and they are filling their pockets with any small trickle of money that still arrives.

    DONT SEND A SINGLE DOLLAR TO THE "AID WORKERS". Go there yourself and give your money into the hand of the first Haitian you meet.

  • This is sooooo fantastic!!! Sometimes a feel so alone because most people around me just seem to be so focues in making money, buying things, etc etc etc... I feel sometime I'm all alone in trying to make them, help them see that there is a much bigger world out there... this makes me feel less alone, and I'm so glad people are getting the help they need. :)

  • So Inspiring Sending my Blessings :)

  • great great story !! ((( UN )))
