Not only has it been a total nightmare but total devastation!
The red cross, and plenty more are making their donations to help this country ....is it enough? Will they make it early enough or will it be too late...?? It's tough...so tough especially now...
I spent many days in Haiti in the early 1990's from my previous job. The Haitians are the most kind hearted people I know. They are unique and the food is just exquisite....I can still recall the best.."pistache" I've had is from Port Au Prince.
"Haiti's regional, historical, and ethnolinguistic position is unique for several reasons. It was the first independent nation in Latin America, the first post-colonial independent black-led nation in the world, and the only nation whose independence was gained as part of a successfulslave rebellion. Despite having common cultural links with its Hispano-Caribbean neighbors, Haiti is the only predominantly Francophoneindependent nation in the Americas. It is one of only two independent nations in the Western Hemisphere (along with Canada) that designatesFrench as an official language; the other French-speaking areas are all overseas départements, or collectivités, of France."
It is so evident that countries all over the world gather to make sure help is on it's way for Haiti...it does feel like it is another Tsunami.
The children....let's not forget the children...

...well said author...it does make me question my own ideas about judging others...truly, you never know a person, until you've met them...maybe if more people got to know their neighbor, maybe there wouldn't be so much war, or starvation in the world...a well written plea for more compassion!...
