GlobalSolutions.org Field Organizer in Indiana, Mike Oles, just had a letter to the editor published in the Indianapolis Star! It’s a great piece that points out that Haiti’s Cholera outbreak is not a reason to defund the U.N., but rather why U.N. Peacekeepers need to be better equipped.
Mike writes, “If there is a lesson to be learned from this avoidable disaster, it is the need for well-trained and well-funded U.N. peacekeepers.” Well said Mike. U.N. Peacekeepers are vital to many countries around the world, and they can’t do their job if they aren’t supported by wealthy nations like the U.S.
