What if the trailers were transported to Haiti? It's a drop in the bucket compared to what's needed, but then, what isn't?Barb Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813230982130771835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838173868484267731.post-42307655713960767342010-01-15T20:17:30.788-06:002010-01-15T20:17:30.788-06:00The cruise lines are helping

Plus based on the new reports I have seen there are so many dead that they are making mass graves. There are those who were picking thru all of the dead bodies to find their loved ones so they could bury them in an individual grave on a mountain. I do think the cruise ship's main focus should be providing food and water but at the same time maybe a break for the thousands of volunteers. The docks may be destroyed but ferries could make this a possibility. Just a few thoughts. and yes if you have not donated please do so. The America Red Cross is probably the most reputible and trustworthy as far as a world wide recognized organization. If you have a local charity or church that is helping please donate to them as well.Life's Speedbumps and Road Blockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14006398897026194700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838173868484267731.post-69876579774014044242010-01-15T10:29:45.027-06:002010-01-15T10:29:45.027-06:00I think that is a GREAT idea:-)I think that is a GREAT idea:-)Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099425493742842588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838173868484267731.post-83422090288449856622010-01-15T10:02:59.596-06:002010-01-15T10:02:59.596-06:00I like it!

The biggest cruise ship I've been on is the MS Zuiderdam which could handle 2200 passengers with 850 crew. Completely taking care of 2200 people kind of seems like a drop in the bucket with this kind of disaster. HOWEVER, if they tripled their crew and set up the cruise ship as a round the clock food and water production plant, ferrying food and water to shore, that would help more people pretty darn quick. If they didn't shelter anyone, but just provided hot food and clean water it might be more use to a greater number of people. (Also, the Haitian docks are rubble as well.) If the Haitians don't start getting at least water today, things are going to get very nasty, very fast.His Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829731701680891830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838173868484267731.post-62911432281177224682010-01-15T08:02:40.523-06:002010-01-15T08:02:40.523-06:00Ingenius!!!!
