This seems to be one of the biggest problems within the humanitarian aid effort in Haiti. Division amongst aid organizations is preventing people from getting the care they need. Everyone is fighting over the aid dollars, while people are still without shelter.

The technology hasn't reached the 'higher ups' making key decisions about project implementation. Lack of knowledge along with individual org agendas is creating a logjam of products and services. In addition, the media isn't reporting fully. Very few know what is really going on in Haiti now, prior to the hurricanes and with outbreaks of plague likely to happen.

All I can say is Christ King Of kings Network is putting a team together for an effort to address rape in the camps, with a partner in Haiti who is a former Minister and who is now doing waste removal in the camps. Our team is comprised of very strong people of faith, capturing information on the grassroots level, connected to a team of volunteer medical professionals.

We are presently looking for funding as well as volunteers to help build infrastructure, wireless networks, telemed services, and eventually social media networks.


If there are Catholics and Christians reading this post, contact us to help at [e-mail] and we will put you to work, in prep for a very exciting mission in Haiti, which we intend to take global.

Grace and peace, may the Lord bless you and keep you, too,
Marcia Lynn
