Perhaps the RD government should start working on being the agent to supply as much of what is needed as possible.

Perhaps, even the Haitians can get some employment and stay in their own country ~!~

The Dpminican Republic is already recognized as key to getting supplies and personnel to the affected area. Almost every news crew from the U.S. has reported from Santo Domingo before being helicoptered into Haiti. The D.R. is widely recognized as the key marshalling area for the relief effort.

Most of the humanitarian organizations are asking for money, not just to give emergency aid but to sustain aid as the rebuilding process is undertaken. Many of the NGO's which have been there for years are receiving record donations and the labor used for the rebuilding effort will most definitely be Haitian. There will be a lot of jobs created in this effort and I believe that will inspire many Haitians who are in the D.R. to return. Time will tell. First they've got to deal with the more immediate humanitarian need.
