This is just all kinds of wrong in my books!

http://www.royalgazette.com/rg/Article/article.jsp?articleId=7da1bab3003001c&sectionId=60

Why not sponsor the people who are actually going over there to WORK and HELP rather that get a bunch of lookie-loos out there....and why, after other governments have sponsored BILLIONS of dollars, is Bermuda sending water and milk from MIAMI? I was under the impression that Haiti needed money-cash right now, not supplies...

Also, why wouldn't they go an pick up some people fromt he island (oh, like the guest worker who went over to find his brother and his family!)

Leave it to Dr Brown to work out a way to skim a profit off the Haitian tragedy and turn it into a photo op.  Sickening.

... and I just read in the RG the story of the private flight to Haiti to take medics and supplies.

Hats off to this group for doing the right thing.   Smiley

I see the private group has just returned from Haiti after doing their good medical work.

Dr. James is quoted, "During the eight days there I treated 75 people and the Haitian doctor I was working with treated 75 people as well," he said. "A lot of time we focus on the surgeries required, but it is also important to remember that general medicine is needed too, people are without their diabetes medicine, basic antibiotics."

Well done.  Your contribution was a good start.
