My husband spoke to a business colleague of ours this morning. This man runs a business in MN and has also been active in missionary work in Haiti for many years, volunteering his time every year and his wife’s and his daughter’s time too.
He commented that this Haitian President is a good guy who will not allow foreign aid to be distributed through questionable channels in Haiti because it always gets stolen before reaching the people. He makes all foreign aid go through his own office so that he can direct it to where it is needed.
Obviously with his home and offices destroyed, that kind of “hands on” supervision is interrupted for the time being. I trust the judgement of our friend, however, so don’t trash this Haitian President until, and unless, we learn differently.
That is good to know—is the Haitian president a survivor?
