So much to do

Haiti has been dealt a blow but this gives us the opportunity to start fresh.  The people need a vision. Anew focus for the nation. Haiti must use this tragedy to act as the catalyst for a paradigm shift in thinking about what it means to be Haitian. Pride and industry is part of the Haitian psyche. This  makes Haitian immigrants in other countries successful because of the backing they have a stable infrastructure and government. Every person of Haitian lineage has a responsibility to make an effort not to let this disaster destroy the opportunity we have to rebuild right. Almost a week into the relief effort and I have not seen much in the way of  visible leadership on the part of the Haitian government. There has to be a mobilization of the people into organized groups to accomplish set tasks in order to facilitate the distribution of aid. Refugee camps are needed outside of Port-au-Prince and other cities in Haiti. Food/water needs to be airdropped or LAPES dropped in places like Leogane, Jacmel who have yet to receive ANY assistance.
