With recent horrendous events in Haiti many are willing to lend a hand or toss out a few shillings. But, as these situations go, we must ask ourselves several questions. The first is why are they refusing the volunteer help? The second, why do they only ask for money? Yes, volunteers are potential liabilities, but there are waivers that can take care of that. And, yes, money can go a long way and pay for someone already in the country to help out. However, what many of us overlook is that Haiti was already in BAD shape and so were many other countries we gave our "aid" to. And, to be honest, our "aid doesn't seem to stretch that far or rebuild the country. Could it be that there is money to be made in this destruction? Could it be that the funding goes to American or American backed companies which only truly help themselves and not the suffering people of the nation? Why not take action to help a country in piss poor shape instead of waiting for a natural disaster to make it worse?
