More Voices of Haiti
“We will never give up.”
You may have heard of Jeremy Cowart—photographer and ONE member—has been capturing the situation in Haiti through his camera lens.
Since the earthquake hit in January, he’s been asking Haitians directly “How are you feeling” and “What do you have to say about all of this?” And each day he posts a new picture with another Haitian’s answer. Here are a few examples:
“A lot of hands make the load lighter. Let’s rebuild Haiti together.”
“Where will I go when it rains?”

One of the most powerful images I have seen this year- Love the use of flash here to pick out the subject and highlight the destruction. Grant

I have heard that one of the biggest probelems in Haiti is the government. They are making sure the police & military are well fed & cared for, and to heck with the general population. My church supports an orphanage there, and a container we sent that arrived in May is still sitting in the port because whoever is in charge won’t allow the orphanage to get the contents. Shameful, pitiful!

Since this day, I pray to Mary that all can be repaired. I know in His time, he will take care of everyone. Be patient and help out. Support yourself. There will be the people on Earth who never forget how badly you were hurt. I am praying other people around the world help out forever and Haiti will never be forgotten as a giant tomb. My great-grandmother was from New Orleans and gave me strength to walk side by side. Just cooperate and be friendly. Hope I get there soon. God save the Queen.

Today I received e-mail with your request to support Haiti. “Will you let Congress know that we must pass the bill for Haiti now?” the note said. And as background said, “Six months after Haiti’s devastating earthquake, please support quick passage of US assistance to Haiti for reconstruction and debt relief.”
I went to your Blog and discovered that Kim Zimmerman, Sheila Nix and Kara Arsenault are writing in support of Haiti’s relief funds.
I think is commendable that you pursue such noble effort. But, I wonder why ONE.org and above fine group of writers have not shown the same solidarity with the people of Chile that suffered the most devastating 8.8 earthquake and tsunami in world history covering about 700 miles of shore line. Several seaside towns and villages were practically wiped out of the map. Over 1,000 people are still missing, fortunately in the island of Juan Fernandez (a.k.a. “Robinson Crusoe Island) a 12 year old girl received a warning call from the mainland and before she ran to the hills, as her dad asked to do, she went instead to the town square and rang the alarm bell and save the town from drowning. There are dozens of stories of valor and quick thinking. But all the good stories don’t change the fact that ONE.org dropped the ball in help to Chile in favor of Haiti.
Since the February earthquake nature has been relentlessly punishing Chile with earthquake replicas (up to 7.2 in the Richter scale) several times per week. This is an ongoing tragedy very hard to assess because of the changing daily conditions. Hundreds and hundreds of families living in tents or whatever they can get in the middle of a very cold unforgiving winter full of freezing rains.
