Enraged by the treatment of Haitians
Travelling to Haiti every year to provide people with medical care, registered nurse Janice Karson is shocked to find that aid workers refuse to help Haitians in areas they see as ‘too dangerous’.
I am only a white nurse in Kansas City that travels to Haiti every year to provide medical care, I am enraged by the treatment of the Haitians.
When I was there after the earthquake, the NGO I was with repeatedly said that it was too dangerous to provide water and care in some areas. I begged and harassed them into going to one neighborhood but they came back saying it was too big a job for them.
So, I begged and harassed people to get them to notify the U.N. of the area, but when I contacted the doctor I met in Haiti, he said no one had come. So, I got medicine donated took more money and went to his neighborhood to have 2 clinics.
I am very interested in the rights of the Haitians and would like to do whatever I can to support them.
Please let me know if there is something I can do to help.
