One Year Ago the Haiti Quake!

A 7.0 earthquake shook Haiti one year ago. The quake shattered lives. The lives of many poor Haitians. The lives of hospitals, schools, and most of the folks in the island country. People from across the world came together to help Haiti in their time of need.

The Quake killed over 200,000 people and left a million and a half people homeless, in a country which was poor to begin with.Money was donated, however Haiti still has a lot of rebuilding to do. The people struggle with wide spread diseases.

We can not forget the places where tragedy has hit. I don't have the answers but belief they come from remembering. We can't forget the Gulf Coast states in the United States hit by Katrina and the oil spill. The war turn places and the other places where natural disasters have hit. Take a moment to reflect, help where you can, and help find the answers.

Haiti

I've been writing a bit about Haiti lately due to the big earthquake which shook the island nation. I have a couple of articles out on organizations which are helping with the relief efforts. I urge you to check them out. My publisher is donating money for the articles and page views to the Haiti Relief efforts.

The first one was abiut Google, President's and Direct Relief. You can view the article here. 
The second one focused on Christian groups who were helping. This article can be viewed here.

We all know Haiti needs help. Heck, they probably could have used help before the earthquake. They are our neighbors (or at least mine). It is encouraging to see past Presidents both democrats and republicans come together for Haiti. It is nice to see all these christian groups from different denominations come together for Haiti. It shows we can overcome our differences and make things better.
