Because What Haiti REALLY Needs Is Solar-Powered Bibles...



A faith-based group has decided to send solar-powered Bibles to the desperate and hungry masses in Haiti.  From News.Com.Au...

These are solar-powered audible Bibles that can broadcast the holy scriptures in Haitian Creole to 300 people at a time.
Called the "Proclaimer," the audio Bible delivers "digital quality" and is designed for "poor and illiterate people", the Faith Comes By Hearing group said.

I'm not saying that the people of Haiti don't need the comfort and hope of religion in their time of need.  I'm just saying that with Haitians rioting for food and clean water, solar-powered bibles are probably NOT what most residents are hoping to receive right now.

How about a cash donation to the Red Cross?!?  Is all I'm saying...

  2. Maybe they can empty out the insides and use them as a cooking pot.
