On of the most important things that country needs is a legitimate, transparent government. One of the things that prevented monetary aid being delivered to that country was a corrupt government. The other problem was that the money wasn’t going to the government to aid in a unified strategy to rebuild the country. On one level parish twining makes sense because it is a way of providing aid in a transparent way. The down side is that it emphasizes the Church as NGO, and undercuts the role of government.

They tried for years to adopt an orphan associated with that mission. Every step of the way they were met with extravagant demands for payments and a guilt trip that they were stealing a child from that nation. They eventually could not afford the demands. The child will stay in Haiti and the money donated to his orphanage and schooling. rcghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00661998350597126663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-6634399737655574642021-07-13T16:36:39.674-04:002021-07-13T16:36:39.674-04:00Here's what I would say to Father Merosne:

Vast, vast sums of money have been contributed privately or appropriated by government, all aimed at addressing the many problems Haiti has. How much more will it take? Name a dollar figure, because frankly, providing money to pay for almost anything, is the easy part. <br /><br />Haiti's problem isn't a lack of concern from onlookers. Here's my assessment: Haiti has two big problems: crooks and rampant superstition. Tell me I'm wrong.<br /><br />Father Merosne is correct in saying education would be a big help, except for two things: I wonder how many of those educated in the U.S. would go back? And, if they do, will they really be listened to?<br /><br />I can think of things that maybe could make things better in Haiti -- being taken over by someone else and rebuilt the way Japan was after World War II -- but I doubt the people of Haiti would go for it, and who wants to take on that task under any circumstances?<br /><br />Lots of us on the outside can think of answers; but Haitians must win this fight. I say it again: the problem is not a lack of goodwill from outside. Lots of people look on and wish they knew what really *would* help, but we've grown cynical and we aren't interested in dumping more money in to further enrich the crooks.Fr Martin Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375628123126091747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-75983405960029146282021-07-13T15:47:53.649-04:002021-07-13T15:47:53.649-04:00Haiti is described as 75% Roman Catholic and 100% ...Haiti is described as 75% Roman Catholic and 100% voodoo.
