0:17
I'm going to go meet up with a guy named Jerry.
0:19
He's a graffiti artist, a very renowned graffiti artist.
0:32
There was a massive earthquake here in 2010.
0:35
Devastation in Haiti, stunned victims of the earthquake.
0:38
We are just now beginning to learn the extent of the devastation.
0:42
The entire world mobilized to send people to help.
0:45
Quite a few naval vessels are now anchored off Port-au-Prince from countries which are sending in relief supply.
0:49
There are 10,000 NGOs, non-governmental organizations,
0:53
here in Haiti. Ten thousand. Drive around town and you see tons of
0:58
international organization vehicles: UN vehicles, European organizations, American organizations.
1:10
Haiti's known as the "Republic of aid NGOs". Only a fraction
1:14
of that money went into the government, to help with long-term relief and things
1:18
like that. So it's the private organizations, these NGOs who are doing
1:21
really great work, but they're the ones who are taking on a lot of these
1:24
services, these services that typically a government would be responsible for.
1:36
We just had this interesting discussion about what foreign aid means for this country.
1:41
Jerry's now kind of thinking through what he wants to symbolize this as on the wall.
1:59
Gathering crowd here watching Jerry do his work.
2:15
We always represent Haiti as a beautiful lady.
2:22
The guy was about to steal the flag, and Haiti said no.
2:26
Keep your money, I have my flag.
2:29
I will figure out with our Haitian people, how we can
2:33
solve the problem. And now, when we have solved the
2:36
problem, we will call you to help us.
2:43
One of the weird side industries that has cropped up because of this NGO bubble,
2:48
is the demand for fixers, translators, and drivers, that pay really well.
2:55
Instead of getting a job that contributes to the broader society,
2:58
you have people who are saying
2:59
"man, I could make a ton of money if I just became a translator for a U.N. person".
3:04
And so you have this huge burgeoning industry: local Haitians who are choosing
3:08
to support the NGO bubble, as opposed to something that might
3:13
help the long-term development of this country.
3:23
These groups are doing amazing work, with education, with health, with food assistance
3:26
where there is a huge need, here in Haiti. The big critique is
3:30
that: this is a band-aid. They're here helping day to day, but in the process
3:34
they're hindering the development of the broader institutions, the institutions that
3:40
are going to be here for decades, the government forces that are supposed to
3:45
be the ones providing these services.
