This is the last part of my interview with Travesty in Haiti: A true account of Christian missions, orphanages, fraud, food aid and drug trafficking author, Dr. Tim Schwartz. (You can read Part 1 here and Part 2 here.) I am extremely grateful to Dr. Schwartz for his time and his thorough responses. If you have not yet ordered Travesty I encourage you to do so through either of the links in the article....
I’m sure I had never seen the above photo before this week. That is to say, I hope I’m not so calloused as to have forgotten such a sight: A lone vulture stalking a starving Sudanese child as she crawls toward a food center more than half a mile away. For the photo famed South-African photographer, Kevin Carter, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography on May 23, 1994 at Columbia University’s Low...
This is the second part of the interview with Travesty in Haiti: A true account of Christian missions, orphanages, fraud, food aid and drug trafficking author, Dr. Tim Schwartz. (Read the first part here.) MD: Is there a solution to what seems to be the logistics issues that came to the fore after the earthquake? Schwartz: Yes. And I am not the only one. There is a growing sentiment–as per Easterly and a less...
Last week I published a review of Travesty in Haiti: A true account of Christian missions, orphanages, fraud, food aid and drug trafficking by Dr. Timothy T. Schwartz. (Read that review here.) The book was so eye-opening that I immediately started trying to track down the author for an interview. Although Dr. Schwartz has been virtually 100% successful in remaining off the Internet grid, with the help of Dr. Robert Lawless at Wichita State...
To see her picture once is to have seen it a thousand times; the image is just as sobering today as it was in June of 1972 when it appeared in newspapers around the globe. The children fleeing the fire of napalm bombs in South Vietnam, running down the road from their village and, in the middle, a nine year old girl, completely naked, running, screaming, burning. The photo, rated by some as the...
Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island based on the novel of the same name by Dennis Lehane (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone) opened today. A creepy, dark (not to mention windy and rainy) adaptation of an exceptionally good novel, the 2+ hour faithful rendering will be a surprising movie to those who have not read the book but might be underwhelming to those who have. Oscar-nominated Leonardo DiCaprio (Blood Diamond, The Departed) plays U. S. Marshal...
When I returned from Haiti on February 8, the first thing I started doing was looking for books that could help make sense of some of the things I had seen that obviously predated the earthquake: the extreme poverty, regularly being asked for money or things, and nightmarish logistical situations that seemingly prevented needs from being met. What I found was the books on the subject are few, but devastating in their critiques. I...
CHARLESTON, S.C.—Having provided clean water solutions to the world’s largest natural disasters—including the South Asian tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, the China earthquake and Myanmar cyclone—engineers at Christian nonprofit engineering relief and development organization Water Missions International know that the worst in Haiti may be yet to come. “For our team, the race against the clock in Haiti has moved from mere survival to preventing deadly diseases associated with contaminated water and sewage,” said chemical engineer...
Of course this is an unscientific poll, but I’d like to get responses across the board. Email this to friends and family, post to Digg or reddit, or on message boards. I’m curious as to the worldviews of folks who stop by this site. Thx.
