I don't know. A million isn't going to make any real change by itself. It's enough for, maybe a barn or something. If I did have money enough to actually make a difference in and of it self for a decent chunk of people, I'd probably invest it into getting Haiti's economy off the ground. Really no matter how much money you have trying to give people food or straight up charity only postpones the inevitable. If you can get people an their own feet doing things for themselves, that would really be something to be proud of. Even if you were just a small part of it. Cash and food donations have their place, but they are only stop gaps. Long term charitable investments are where it's at. That means things like developing infrastructure, founding centers of education and giving interest free loans to promising businesses.
