I have made several trips to Haiti in the last few years as a volunteer for a charity active in the Plateau Central. We have spent well over one million US dollars on water, sanitation and housing. We no longer spend any time in Port au Prince on our trips to Haiti. Many of our trips have been cancelled. Some in our group talk of helping in another country where we can travel and be safe. We need our volunteers to travel, becuase they return to the US and raise so much more for the effort. There are so many US and Canadian Haitians. I have seen estimates of 3 million or more. You could represent a true force if you would begin to join together. Funds should be raised and used as leverage seeking additional matching funds. Lobbying should be considered to seek further assistance for the country. I am not certain there is a solution, but if there is one to be found the only group that may be able to find it are the Haitians living in Canada and the US. Your voice will be listened to, you have a far better perspective. I weep for the Haitians in need. There are many organizations that would join forces with committed, charitable, visionary US and Canadian Haitians.
