I read and article about people literally eating mud for food in Haiti. I have been interested in helping ever since. I really appreciate your thoughts as I have pondered as well "what would it take?" Unfortunately it sounds like the government is corrupt and uncaring. As I peruse the different organizations out there helping it is hard to know who to support and what to do. Is there any way to contribute to something that is sustainable, you know teach a man to fish rather than giving him a fish. But the need is immediate as the morgues continue to fill up with young children succumbing to starvation. I think people need to go over there even if its just for a week. Find an organization to volunteer for and see the situation first hand. Or find people who have gone and pick their brains then start to send money, write letters and inform others.
