I agree, if you mean the “jump-start” isn’t financial. Haiti, like every other rotten third world sewer has absorbed billions in aid and, not surprisingly, has nothing to show for it. They need a transforming of their minds. If that happens, nothing else matters. If that doesn’t happen, nothing else matters.

When they turn away from the evil of voodoo and become Born Again Christians everything will begin to change. The sitting around waiting for a handout only encourages sitting around. If the Holy Spirit takes hold of them self help will follow.
One interesting thing I came across is Haitians have started killing witch doctors because they blame them for the cholera epidemic.
