Yes, you pick up on the frustration of the people actually trying to receive the aid. The pic you post of the guys with machetes is very scary. What's the answer in this situation?

I wonder why nobody has thought of the other villages? Maybe it is because there are the most people in Port- Au- Prince. Our school donated some money to an organization that would give the money to Haitians. There is also the factor of the airports getting too crowded. That is why some countries are sending airplanes to the Dominican Republic, and then getting rescue squads there by other means of transportation.
