How do you tell the people of Haiti to move to safer areas when all of their belongings are under the tent that they've lived in? Add that to the fact that they really have no where to go. I read of one Haitian woman who said the people she could go stay with died in the earthquake. She also lost her husband and 9 year old son. So now her and her four children will be remaining in their tent during the storm. The thought of Black people in cold damp tents really infuriates me.  I don't understand why all of these international organizations along with the Haitian government haven't been able to come up with decent housing for the displaced. And what happened to all the money we donated? Where's the organization? Where's the planning? I'm not impressed with these aid organizations at all. And these are the same organizations that often require at minimum a masters and phD to get a position at. Really?
