Which relief orgs actually helped in Haiti? |
|
I know many used it as a fund raiser and then did not send the proceeds to Haiti. I am asking for Japan.

were raised worldwide by relief orgs for Haiti.
But only a tiny portion of the billions have reached Haiti yet, a year after the quake.
A runoff elections is set for March 20. Hillary and company have designated (i.e. handpicked) two candidates from a fraud-ridden election held in November. They are a former first lady, 70 years old, and a pop singer and known neo-duvalierist.
Either of the candidates is acceptable to Hil, France and Canada, which are pulling the strings.
In the meantime, foreign multinationals are salivating to get their mitts on the nine billion.
This will not happen with funds raised for Japan.
