Sorry for the off-topic post but this is just embarassing. I'm very passionate about one.org and I'm sad my own country has once again been put in a bad light.
Ken ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Roxane Philson, ONE.org <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, July 28, 2010 Subject: Reneging on promises to Haiti To: Kenneth <[email protected]> Dear ONE Member, I can’t quite believe I’m writing this...When Haiti was devastated by the earthquake in January, government pledges of support poured in. Many of us made our own commitments and delivered upon them, so I’m mortified that six months on, only 10% of their pledged support has actually been delivered. Only four countries (Austalia, Brazil, Estonia and Norway) have followed through – meaning that Haiti’s recovery is effectively paralysed. Philippines is one of many who have yet to pay up. President Clinton, UN Special Envoy to Haiti, is chasing up these deadbeat donors and we want to give him some ONE support to help him.

Keep your commitments and urgently deliver the support you pledged so that Haiti can begin to rebuild. In the last 6 months, work has begun to build 50,000 transitional homes and fund rubble-clearing programmes. However, with only 10% of the promised funding, these projects are at risk of grinding to a halt. Your support in achieving debt cancellation for Haiti was critical. I hope you’ll join me once again in ensuring Haiti is not forgotten.
