re: #77 SanFranciscoZionist

That’s the thing. I know there are tons of church groups on the ground there, working their butts off, and cooperating with the big aid groups. This is not how you do it.

Had they been successful, they’d be able to tout their ‘orphanage’ for fundraising purposes. “Help us with our orphanage for the victims in Haiti” or something to that effect. The giving instinct is strong right now, as the disaster is fresh. Why did they need to take the kids to the DR instead of establishing an orphanage somewhere on Haiti that hadn’t been destroyed by the earthquake? This reeks of opportunism to me, and I’m trying not to be paranoid about this.
