NGOs and Religious Organizations selling Haitian Misery - The Humiliation

Doesn't that just get to you, watching our Haitian brothers and sisters getting stripped from their dignity by these foreign Non-Profit Organizations or religious organizations for a bag of rice or some second hand clothes or shoes?

Let make it clear that many of these organizations are providing tremendous services to the Haitian population. Some of them are providing services that the population desperately needs such as help in the medical field, agriculture, energy, business development, education, home, and technology and we are very thankful for that.

When I said that I was sick and tired of NGOs and Religious Organizations selling Haitian misery to raise money, I was referring to the NGOs and the religious organizations that go to Haiti to "Help the Haitians", but instead are treating Haitians without any dignity.

We are being humiliated every day by these people.

These entities do provide some relief to the poor Haitians. However, some end up taking away the most precious thing from these same Haitians they are trying to help: Their Dignity.

What kind of help are you providing me if you have to take my picture in some of the most inappropriate situations? How can the Haitian family keep any dignity if the world needs to see them in the following pictures:

Couldn't these family wash themselves before posing for photo? Couldn't they at least borrow some clothes to put on their children before taking pictures?

For the NGOs, no, because that does not sell. For the Haitians, no, because if the "Blanc" is giving me something, I have no right to say anything.
