What in God's name is their government doing? Jesus Christ! God Bless America! whew!

I was deployed to Haiti in 1995 to help remove the old UN sites! The cities and towns were trashed, the people didn't seem to care about the trash. I seen people in Port au Prince living in cardboard boxes on the sidewalk. A drive out of the city up the coast line shows another side to the country. There are many beautiful places there. On weekends we would go swimming at and old dock by a long gone factory. With a little stability and some outside investments I think it could easily be another tourist attraction like the rest of the Caribbean.

why do you journalists always look for what is ugly and disgusting???? can't you challenge yourself and find something good about that country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those pictures doesn't reveal how bad it really is. I live and operate an orphanage here in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The first little boy we brought into our home was from Cite Soleil. It has been said Cite Soleil is one of the worst if not the worst place on earth. There are so many needs in this country. Thank you Kevin for bringing to light some of the situations that Haitian people are face here. www.missionsinhaiti.com

Kevin, I commend you for leaving your comfort zone and "investing" yourself in a place like cite soleil. I would be very interested to hear your take on America's role in Haiti. My most sincere hope is that you can formulate a sensible response to an intellectually flat comment like "What in God's name is their government doing? Jesus Christ! God Bless America! whew!". In any event, come back to your family safely.

God bless America?.. my foot!!!! At least the misery of Haiti is being seen by the world on a daily basis unlike the the harrowing civil-war-like details that the world only came to know about when Harricane Katrina struck. U aint better off, u @£$%^ cowboys! Or maybe you are when it comes to concealing the appalling reality that America has some of the murkiest poverty situations in the whole world. God bless Haiti.....

follow up to kyssee comment... if you can't deal with ugly and disgusting then get the eff off the planet. the world is pretty much ugly and disgusting...

This is what happen when you are (haiti) the first black republic in the world with no good example to follow. The Haitians have been destroying Haiti since 1804 with the help of the U.S. and all those countries who endorse slavery.

I agree with Bandu22. Haiti is not that worst off than any other country. Right here in America, example New Orleans, we noticed a cover up of poverty which Hurricane Katrina brought to the surface. I do not know why people were so shock to how these individuals have been living. Americans always see what is wrong in other countries but not dealing with there own. I agree the Haitian people need to unite, clean up their act and fight for their independence and glory once again.

I ain't following nobody's comment, me. I'm haitian and I do know that haiti is going through a lot of political and social situation. God Bless America, right???!!!! That's a very nice thing to say when u live in a wonderful country that wasn't touch by the terrorism attacks. We r not that selfish even if I personally don't like ur country I ain't never gonna say: Thank God they only kidnapp people in here they don't blow up any tours of that sort, that would be a very cruel thing to say and to think. And no amtter what u think I was very depress that day. Cité Soleil is a @#$% ed place, I've never been ther and I'm not proud to say that but it's My country I life in it and I have to go through all these bull@#$% every day, but I'm not harsh about it. It's true haitian destroyed their country, their own brothers and it's our fault if it's the way it is, but poverty is not only here. COme over here and u'll see what the government is really doing... I'm out! U people talking trash about what u don't know. Peace!
