I could not agree with you more. Although most Americans are sincere in their desire to assist and help, even in the mighty USA there is a lot of corruption. All you have to do is listen to the news. I sincerely hope that our Government has a better handle on all this monetary aid and where it goes. I would hate to see another corrupt Government in Haiti. It will take many years to rebuilt the country. This is the upside of this disaster, and I sincerely hope that the developed countries stick around to rebuilt. East of Eden.

Faith-based organizations, like the Salvation Army actually put in sweat equity and do not hand the money over to corrupt governments to enrich the few. I hope that this time, the countries which are coming to Haiti's aid stick around and get the country on its feet and not support yet another corrupt government. I hate to sound anti-American but it seems that every country which the USA 'helps' ends up in worse shape than before but a handful of contractors come away incredibly wealthy. I agree.

I agree, and preferr these organization over some political money. It will only end up in the wrong hands. Although it appears, that there is no Government in Haiti left.
