   Charity is enslaving and degrading. Make people do something for their   
   own good. The money that went to Haiti disappeared into the black hole   
   of corruption. Africa is dependent on charity while enriching the   
   corporations that profit from its resources.   
      
   Teach the poor to have a decent life without being dependent on   
   handouts.
