Missionaries Go to Haiti, Followed by Scrutiny
I enjoyed still seeing that efforts are continued to help out in Haiti. The article discusses a bounty of religious organizations still continue to volunteer their services. I was also intrigued by this... "Some of them arrived on John Travolta’s Boeing 707, which he flew down loaded with tons of relief supplies, and when not doing relief work they sang classic rock songs at a crowded bar full of aid workers inside the United Nations compound." I think its nice that not only are they volunteering, but during the wee hours they are off they are still able to have a good time. But honestly, I wasn't sure how i felt about them mentioning this. You would think that if they had time to drink and sing songs they would have time to help some more out in suffering Haiti. Granted, not all of their time can be sent on volunteering but shouldn't a large part of it be? On a lighter note however, I thought the wording of this next quote was very well written with good use of language to set the image in your mind. "Moved by awful images of the Jan. 12earthquake, a broad band of religious groups has swept down here in recent weeks. But rather than fostering a universal spirit of interfaith cooperation, the hasty assemblage of religious organizations has sometimes created tensions among them." Ultimately, I am very happy that efforts are continued in Haiti, and from what the article said, there are always efforts in this country. I think that is an important idea to remember. Of course in times of need it is important to help these countries, but most of the time these countries are always in need of something, and we as a society should not forget what is continually going on in the world around us.
