On Tuesday January 12, 2010, the nation of Haiti was hit by a massive 7.0 earthquake. The earthquake has caused great devastation all throughout Haiti, and even yet, throughout the entire world. A week after the earthquake struck, an aftershock came reading at about 6.1 on the Richter scale. Having an after shock at this magnitude made the devastation throughout Haiti rise to an astonishing amount. People serving in Haiti currently are predicting that about 1.5 million people living in Haiti are now homeless, and about 200,000+ have been killed from the massive quake. I personally can not even imagine a fraction of the pain and suffering that the Haiti population is going through right now, and I give immense credit to those who are traveling right now to serve the country of Haiti, because I honestly cannot say that I would be capable of going there at this time to help, it would be absolutely too devastating for me. I believe that continuing to send relief groups to Haiti is a great idea, and I believe that anyone can help the nation of Haiti by sending food items, sanitary items, or even money donations. I believe that if people all throughout the world gather together and work together, the nation of Haiti can and will be rebuilt and restored.

I agree with you Lindsey! Even though it may take years and years, I believe that Haiti can and will be restored if everyone works together.

ReplyDeletehah, just kidding!
I have to agree with you too, what happened in Haiti is devastating all over. Those numbers of homeless and dead are massive, hard to believe so many people live on an island.
