Arrived Thursday with my Nature's Call shirt.

I like the color, it's not one I'd usually wear but it makes my red hair pop. The design is alright, it certainly gets attention. My mom thought the banana tree was a pot leaf.

I had to buy this shirt because 100% of the proceeds go to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief, and I was already planning on donating to the Red Cross for Haiti anyway.

"Men anpil chay pa lou" A lot of people want to know what my shirt says and I can never remember.


My friends think I shouldn't waste my compassion on Haiti, because in their words "It's the best thing that's ever happened to that country." Or "Their economy hasn't ever seen a boom like this before."

Which I countered with, "It's just sad that so many people are suffering."

"As apposed to how they were before it became trendy to toss resources into that money pit?"

I hang out with military though, so they're not exactly brimming with compassion as I am.

WTF do they do in the military? My base has about 5,000 people and we ended up donating over $100k this year to charity through the Combined Federal Campaign alone, I have friends serving in Haiti right now, and as a civil engineer, I can attest that a big portion of our mission is humanitarian construction (wells, schools, hospitals, roads, etc) in countries that nobody sees or cares about. So I'd say either your friends are fresh-out-of-basic and don't know what the hells going on or they're just trying to get under your skin, in which case, you shouldn't be taking them seriously and spouting off their sarcasm as fact.

Military & the medical field I work in. I don't know if it's more of a southern idea either, but I swear most of the people where I live (in Memphis) seem to share that terrible idea.



I continue to donate to both Haiti and Chile, and I promise I don't share the idea of my colleagues and friends.
