Following the Aid in Haiti

http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/haiti--9827586
Haiti is still in need of all the help they can get.  There are many Haitians still without shelter, food and water.  These Haitians are dying from malnutrition.  Even more Haitians have not been given proper medical attention and are on the verge of dying from diseases such as gangrene and other bacterical infections.  These are problems we as Americans can help with just a simple donation.

This video posted by ABC News focuses on the aid in Haiti following the earthquake.  They explain how even a month later there is still so much more help needed to just feed and shelter these suffering Haitians. The audience of this video is donators. The purpose of this video to encourage viewers to donate.  Donate, donate, donate!  Isn't that what everybody says?  But what is the donator's money being spent on? The other purpose of this video is to explain this mystery to donators.  ABC News tackles this question with one of the biggest aid organizations on the Haiti scene--the American Red Cross.  The spokes persons on ABC News use a serious tone in a conversational setting.  ABC News explains how sixty-nine percent of all donations to the Red Cross has not yet been spent.  That means $325 million is just sitting there.  So what are they doing with the donators money.  Nan Buzard, Senior Director of the Red Cross, explains to ABC News that the money is being put to good use.  She uses logos by quoting facts and figures of how much aid they have given to Haiti's people.  These large numbers strengthens her arguement, but it still doesn't hide the fact that the Red Cross has money just sitting away when there is still numerous of Haitians waiting for shelter, food, and water.  This video challenges the American Red Cross's ethos, because donators are not going to want to keep donating if the money is just sitting there.  Although the Red Cross may have a good plan for keeping the money, America's donators don't see it that way.
