Hearing this made me think of an old Tony Bourdain episode on No Reservations when he went there and hung out with Sean Penn after the earthquake. It was beyond heartbreaking. I imagine Sean is livid right now since he was sincerely committed to their plight. Thanks for linking it!

has done wonders on the ground for Haiti. And just as a fellow human. I'll never forget him buying a boat after Hurricane Katrina and rescuing people himself. All these three very wealthy men who do wonders to bring the world together. If there has to be a rich person in power, why could not one of them teaching people how to act instead of wealthy Trump who is an un-teacher, as in Kim Jong Un.

A Chef's Tour on the Food Channel for a year or two(he HATED that network) then No Reservations on the Travel Channel. You can still watch some of them for free on You Tube and Daily Motion. I have learned so much from him about different cultures, geography, and cooking/food of course. This "Haiti" episode has been blocked except for clips. I VHS recorded all of them. On this trip Haiti was about to have another disaster follow on the heels of the earthquake, a hurricane. Google or go to You Tube, they still have full shows, his books are great too. I love watching his older episodes when he mentions the Moron. Tony is a New Yorker as well as smart and HATES "The Donald". He even described him to his Russian friend Zamir as being just like Putin(a rich businessman with no scruples, only shorter) and this was in 2013 or so, before he ran for office.
