Defender Analysis
Loune Viaud is the Director of Operations and Strategic Planning at Zanmi Lasante, whom they are Partners in Health Community especially in Haiti. She has worked with the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights since 2002. She earned the RFK Human Rights Award that year and has done ongoing work for Haiti and their people. What caused our defender to get involved? Well, she fought for Human Rights and thinks that it’s not right that Haiti didn’t have the same rights as we do, and how Haiti deserves the same support with their lives. It’s her choice that she wants to help out, but not others forcing her to help out Haiti, just because of the money.
Moreover, she is Haitian herself, and she helped many Haitians in Haiti. This transformed the international community’s interventions in Haiti and took more care with the rights to health, water, and food. Loune Viaud helped improved some parts of Haiti, but she did a lot. They also helped with shelter and clothes, which are clearly important to everyone. Not because of the ethnicity that she wanted to help, but it is considered volunteering and how she cares for their environment. Therefore, Loune Viaud worked in partnership with the government and many other organizations to help improved children’s shelter especially for orphaned and abandoned children, and most of them are disabled.
Money would be a problem, because people need money to work things out. However, it takes the heart that we put into doing such actions to be nice or helpful to others. Sometimes, people can forget about money and just do the things they enjoyed. Other obstacles that they may face is traveling far, and putting a lot of effort just to help them rebuild their homes, taking care of their lives, and environment. It is a lot of work, however, they may use some money to solve these problems. Money isn’t everything because Loune showed a lot of love to the children and families. They planned to move forward by working hard no matter how many annoying things are in the way. They would just ignore it and will work hard to reach their goals. Therefore, money can’t buy love, but their hard work does.
Loune Viaud quotes:
“Do the sick deserve the right to health care? Do the naked deserve the right to clothing? Do the homeless deserve the right to shelter? Do the illiterate deserve the right to education?”
“As a Haitian woman who has seen first-hand what it means to be poor and sick, I know that we can all do better. We can move from the way things are, where the bottom billion is merely struggling not to suffer, to be as we say in Haiti, kappab pa soufri, to a place in which tout moun se moun. Everyone is a person. We are all human.”
"CHILDREN IN HAITI, PARTICULARLY HOMELESS, DISABLED, AND ORPHANED CHILDREN, STILL DESPERATELY NEED SHELTER, CARE, AND PROTECTION. WE MUST MAKE SURE THAT THEIR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS ARE PROTECTED, AND THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF HAITI IS EMPOWERED TO FULFILL THESE RIGHTS."
