    Default New Type of buildings for Haiti

    Haiti is becoming less "News Worthy " but the rebuilding effort is just starting and in the right direction IMHO

    I saw the vid and thought the same as Sid. What kind of spokesperson for a company lined up to make millions off of the backs of earthquake victims wears sunglasses like that??? And that hand-chin thing, like he's grooming that invisible goatee, it all looked like it came out of a really bad disaster movie.

    And then I realized he was a rapper (that I've never heard of). OK, now I understand. Could be legit. Tacky though. I wonder if that was the first time he ever uttered the word "fiduciary"?

    actually my concerns came from a supposed charity
    without any contact details other then a single phone number

    all their Press is coming from some fancy PR company..

    no about us, no mailing address
    all donations to go to a paypal account?

    dont know just doesnt give me a good feeling about it..

    like i said im probably just being too cynical. and all these people want to do is actually help.
