So far the European Commission and member states have donated 122 million euros to Haiti, Estonia's contribution totaling 3.9 million euros. Two-and-a-half million of Estonia's gift was channeled through the Red Cross with the remainder allocated to fund the visits of IT- and logistics experts. ("We believe everyone has the right to Skype," noted a spokesman for Estonia.)For Latvia's part, a hat was passed in parliament where 23 lats were collected, plus one 50-cent euro coin which the hat-passer located on the floor near the coffee machine. Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis donated the unfinished half of his chicken-salad sandwich before remarking, "This is just like the Estonians. They're always trying to show off."
