Is France doing enough for Haiti?


I've been googling for news of donations from France to Haiti and I'm not coming up with much. Some companies like Alcatel-Lucent ... but I hear nothing about the French government. Considering the history France has of plundering resources from Haiti and enslaving Haitian people, you'd think they would dig deep.

Some folks are calling for restitution from France. Read this article for more information.

Donate for Haiti

Confused about what organization you should donate to?

I donated today to Doctors Without Borders -- they're working furiously there already.

Here's a website that rates charity organizations:
Charity Watch

They also have a link to a web page that explains their process of rating organizations.

Please donate what you can. Thank you.

Our love goes out to all in Haiti -- keep safe.
