I have been saying this since 2008. It's nice to go "help the poor Haitians" but what happens after you leave?

But go on vacation, have a nice time, spend some money, come back and tell your friends how wonderful it was, and you've created jobs, changed the image, and helped Haiti in bigger ways then if you had spent a month volunteering.

Kudos to our minister of Tourism!
