      Wow. History ended with Reagan? What happened to the history of Aristide and his being put into office, then removed by the CIA/Marines - Bush and Clinton?

2010 Haiti earthquake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 1 views

  • Amongst the widespread devastation and damage throughout Port-au-Prince and elsewhere, vital infrastructure necessary to respond to the disaster was severely damaged or destroyed. This included all hospitals in the capital, together with air, sea, and land transport facilities, as well as communication systems. Due to this infrastructure damage and loss of organisational structures, a spokeswoman from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs called it the worst disaster the UN had ever confronted.

      I feel bad for all the people dying from this disaster. Earthquake is something that can't be predicted. Thus, I hope that there can be someone in the future inventing some equipment that can predict when and where earthquake will take place.

  • I think what is so shocking about the poverty here is that it is born out of 200 years of relentless brutality of the west in response towards the Haitian struggle for self-determination and dignity.
  • Many of these charities raise a great money in their local communities at home and money is then sent to Haiti. But being dependent on charities can be risky. There is no guarantee how long support will last and there is no accountability to anyone and many small local projects providing education, protection and support to women survivors of violence and orphanages [ particularly vulnerable to predator charities] are completely off the radar.
  • The example of Save The Children which despite having its office next to SOPUDEP school in Petion-Ville have never approached the school to offer any help before or since the earthquake. I learned of two schools for the poor, one in Citie Soleil and the other in Boucan Lapli. Both of these are schools only in that there is a teacher and there are some children who want to learn.

  • The school was the victim of a NGO scam whereby they were offered money to start but very soon the monies dried up and the Haitian contact person could not be found. The school started with 260 children. All the teachers have left and just 60 children remain.
