Where to donate for Haiti?

Our first reaction facing a disaster situation is to help. There are


mechanisms or established procedures and it corresponds the
government, with the help of the agencies specialized in disasters
and the Red Cross, to gather and to distribute.
Passing the emergency, the help falls but it is the moment when
more help is needed for long-term recovery.
There are dishonest people that takes advantage of the good-
hearted ones, intending to intermediate donations and there is
others with good will, but without know-how, that can complicate
more the things, trying to help.
Where can one help? The parameter is "trust." It is necessary to
look for organizations that have transparent public management and
that have proved that they are able to put most of each dollar
collected in their programs.
There are various rankings of agencies and NGOs. I propose you
