Leave Haitians with their Misery


Since the earthquake in Haiti, we see Americans full of compassion for the people of Haiti. That compassion brought everyone who saw the sorrow in Haiti to want to be useful, like Jesse Sul.
Sleeping in the cold outside will not change anything. On the contrary, Jesse could get sick and lose the opportunity he could have to help Haiti by going to the country. The help from him or from others are just insignificants. Only Haitians could change things in Haiti. To make that happen, they should change their mindset, stand up, and work, work very hard to pursue their happiness.
From the ruins must rise a new government that is able to build the country since for many decades it has been helped by NGOs and humanitarian aid. With the earthquake came the moment of truth. Now more than ever, Haitians need a strong government of honest and engaged leaders fighting for their people and their welfare. No one could make that happen even if he sleeps in the street. Even he is a good Samaritan. People from Haiti, elderly and young must build their country thanks to leaders who stimulate their capabilities. Then every Haitian could aspire to eating three meals a day a day and having a roof over their heads.
