Education and employment are going to be huge. Handouts are great, nut the organizations doing the best are those not just focusing on the short term nut long term solution. Don't just come in and do it all for them, but come in and teach them skills and give them a job! That is where CVM is trying to make a difference...show them the value in ag and animals and taking care of them. A goat sells for 75US! That's a semester of school for a child so you can see the economic impact. Lots to think about. Just bought red beans and rice on the street...fast food haitian style. I took pics...amazing the resourcefulness they have here. Headed out to country this afternoon to work on goats for the kid for a kid project for 4th graders...really cool idea and more on that later.
