Haiti's Global Citizen: Give a Minute or a Dollar - Your Chance to Share Your Ideas to Make a Difference in Haiti

Which one would you like to participate in? Give a minute of your time to share ideas to improve the living conditions in Haiti or send in $1 to a charitable organization to help Haitians stricken by the recent quake and current cholera epidemic? While both ideas are noble, we would like you to think about the long-term difference you can make by sharing your ideas for a stronger, and much improved Caribbean neighbor.

Give a Minute or a Dollar is an opportunity for you to help address old and new problems facing Haiti with brilliantly new ideas. No longer will you be consumers of the tragic news coming from Haiti! Now you will be co-sharers of ideas that have the potential of changing Haiti for good. You will have a vested interest in seeing things change there. Your ideas may improve various sectors of the country, from the economy, education, to public transportation without forgetting the colossal tasks of rubble removal, planning in a country where land rights can mean life or death if dealt with in the wrong way etc.

Who is paying attention to your ideas and recommendations?

This blog is read by the powerful members of the international community represented in Haiti by their own organizations, members of the Haitian government and international committees created to focus on the Haitian issues and rebuilding. For sure, your ideas will be taken into consideration. The best ideas that we cull from this exchange will be published with an acknowledgement to the writer and submitter (first name only).

Haitians Stuck Between Monster Hurricane Tomas and The Tent Camps

And the rain announcing the arrival of hurricane Tomas starts falling! Chaos in the tent camps!  Where to go to find shelter when most buildings were destroyed?  Churches and schools are an answer!
Despite all the warnings by the Haitian government and members of the international community in Haiti, many of the Haitians who have been living the government-built and provided tents refuse to leave.  They are afraid that they will lose everything, including their meager belongings.  We already know that hurricane Tomas killed more than 50 people in Saint Lucia and caused millions of dollar in property damages.
To choose to stay in the tents is incomprehensible at this time.  With nowhere safe to turn to, most Haitians decide to ride the rain lashes and hurricane winds in their camps.

Various news reports have been presenting the situation in Haiti:
Find out what NPR's Jason Beaubien has been reporting on the uncoming hurricane:
