Comparison of Haiti donations to Katrina and the tsunami Jan 28
The American economy is far less robust than it was in late 2004 and 2005. Donations for Haiti relief made by Americans, individuals, foundations and corporations, are lagging the amounts raised after Hurricane Katrina and the SE Asian tsunami. Our list of donors and totals by category is at this link.

Comparison of Haiti donations to Katrina and the tsunami
Comparisons between the American fund raising results for Haitian earthquake relief and the efforts after Hurricane Katrina and the Southeast Asian tsunami are inevitable. Private giving by Americans, individuals, foundations and corporations has always been generous. Our economy is significantly weaker than it was in 2004-2005 and that may be the biggest factor affecting giving to date. Some of the historical numbers include money raised by churches. Those collections have happened but have not been reported publicly as far as can be determined for the Haiti relief effort. Here are the current results as recorded on this site. The column titles are links to the articles on that topic.

American volunteers in Haiti
I highly recommend that you bookmark this link. It is the on-going story of some Americans, ex-military and firefighters and medical personnel, who packed up a rucksack and went to Haiti. “Normal†is a word I wouldn’t really use down here, but I suppose we are developing a little bit of a morning routine. We packed medical supplies, reviewed our possible missions for the day, mixed up oral rehydration salts, and headed out to the general hospital. (No soap opera jokes, please; we’ve told them all several times.) Our numbers and logistical requirements have grown to the point where we were traveling in two tap-taps and a rental Suzuki from the DR… We looked carefully at the buildings as we drove along (occasionally being cheered on by locals shouting “We love you! … Read entire article »

But people are dying – thoughts on the Haitian disaster
January 16th, 2010 | Comments Off
The print and broadcast media have swarmed into Haiti and now the news is filled with their perception of what isn’t getting done. I would like to address some of these in order to bring some perspective to the wails from the media. IT IS A DISASTER When there is a disaster, people are at risk and people die. That’s why it is called a disaster. We need to recognize that a great many people have died and many more are going to die despite our best efforts. PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY Most of the population of the Port-au-Prince area relied upon charitable aid from outside Haiti for part or all of their daily existence. Let’ engage our brains and look at some numbers. Assume that a million people in the PaP area have no food. … Read entire article »
