Help for Haitian people...

I was very touched about yesterdays "charity show" on our tv programme (ZDF). Saw so  horrible pics and saw such sad eyes.... And the germans were very freehanded and donated a sum of almost 2 Million Euros (just in 2 hours). That was fantastic. I was a little upset when someone said that the germans shouldn't "donate" headless (what means sending winter clothes or whatever) - money is needed. But honestly those people lost everything they owned (even they didn't own much) and wouldn't it be helpful to send clothes, shoes, shirts, trousers or whatever (okay maybe no winter clothes). I think it would be a big help sending some clothes, blankets - this people lost everything!!!
Then a couple was interviewed - they adopted a baby boy from a Haitian orphanage - it was the first visit to "their" son and there were some paperworks to get though, left "their" baby boy to finally take him "home" to Germany in April. They left Port - au Prince on a plane toward America (to spend a few days there) and short before they arrived in America they read on the screen about that terrible earthquake. They were shocked and tried to reach the orphanage - no chance. After a few days they were called that all children in this orphanage has survived - without any injuries. All children will be flown out the next week. And the next discussion started - as sooo many children have lost their parents by that earthquake a lot of people thought about helping these children with adopting them. (I don't think that this people had just the idea to adopt a child - I think this people tried hard to adopt a child and in germany its sooo difficult - you have to be younger than 40 years - they want to know your income exactly and and and...). I am sure these people who are really interested in an adoption would care for their child as good as they can and I also think that this child would have a "better" life as in Haiti right now- although they're older than 40 years. It's not the current situation in Haitit - it will need years to built up everything - hospitals, schools, orphanage.
I am totally with the people from the organisation and orphanage - all children are in a confused situation and everything is new for them - the loss of their parents and and and. They say that this children have enough to do with this situation right now and it would be terrible for them to handle another situation like an adoption and new parents. Okay, for the first time it will be hard for them but isn't it a good idea to offer them a better life? Don't they have a right of medical care (if needed), a playschool and a school? I think all these things need years to built up. Shouldn't we give them the chance to "be a child? I am sure they would have a better life.Thats my opinion and I would like to know what you're thinking of that.
The other thing is I would really love to help the Haitian people - as I am not a doctor who can help them or don't belong to some organisations like "Welthungerhilfe" I thought I donate money. But I would love to help more - any ideas? It doesn't make sense if I would fly to Haiti and do some photos (that is my profession but I don't think that helps in any way).
Sometimes I wish I would do something honorary to help people - I don't know what....
