Disaster: Haiti Needs Toilets as Much as Food and Water

food distribution photo: LA Times

That’s right the Associated Press has reported that amongst the major concerns, the lack of latrines has entered the top three. The need for water and food for over one million homeless has been there since the earthquake first hit. Now over two weeks into this ordeal a new threat has developed and that is the lack of toilets. At present there are on average one latrine per 2000 people.

The homeless has crowded into the capital city of Port-Au-Prince leaving no empty spaces and no place to dig for latrines. Unicef is on site and trying to coordinate water and sanitation. As of Saturday they are digging latrines for approxiamately 20,000 people. They are expecting about 1,100 squatting platforms for the camps in which they will be partitioned off with sheets of plastic for some privacy.

Haiti Earthquake Disaster Relief Efforts In The Community

In taking a walk in downtown Merchantville, NJ  today I found that the big corporations have in place a relief effort for Haiti. Town Center has many small businesses and four major national corporations. In checking with three of those four major corporations I found that two of them have put forth some effort to aiding the Haiti Earthquake victims and the emergency response teams which come from several countries around the world.

Pat Robertson Admonishes Haiti

“They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we’ll serve you if you’ll get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it’s a deal.”

The Reverend Pat Robertson speaks his mind on the television show; “700 Club.”  Many take offense to his comments. Are his comments out of character? Apparently not for him. He doesn’t hold back in his beliefs which ARE scripturally sound. The bible does state: “ Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.” Mark 9:50(KJV) However, Paul in a letter to the Thessalonians expressed this statement: And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all.” 1 Thess 5:14(ASV)

How far should we go in “seasoning with salt?”  So many times people are too worried about hurting someone’s feelings that the person goes without the warning that perhaps is needed.  “Admonish the disorderly” says Paul. If we are Brother’s and Sister’s in Christ, then we should bring out these points and teach others and use any real situations as a demonstration. Since so many keep quiet and do not admonish (warn)  and teaching others, because it is not politically correct, that  is the very reason how the devil was so successful at making the world the way it is right now.

Billions are being sent to Haiti, Will it make it and will it be used properly?

It happened in New Orleans, it happened in Iraq and it will probably happen in Haiti as well, especially since we have experience in Haiti. What you ask? The disappearance of our tax dollars. In Iraq over $800 million dollars of our money disappeared in just days out of a guarded  storage facility. In New Orleans, fraud was widespread and the Housing Authority as well as FEMA reported hundreds of cases of fraud. One person embezzled 900k. A Mississippi Mayor and his wife were arrested and indicted on 16 counts of fraud for more than 220k and the list goes on and on and on.
