| NGOs and aid groups should collaborate with Haitians, not perpetuate an often harmful 'we'll tell you what to do' culture
"Haiti is not what you see on CNN." That was one of the first things Haitian entrepreneur Claudel Dumas told me when I visited the country in April. He was right. Yes, Haiti is extremely poor, and infrastructure is sorely lacking. The government is inefficient, and the nation is speckled with visitors there to "help", like missionaries and NGO workers.

Many NGOs do fantastic, necessary work, and there's no doubt that most individuals who dedicate their lives to development work are well-intentioned and good at their jobs.
