Haiti Earthquake
Beautiful beaches and holiday resorts is what i remember of Haiti – for those who don’t know where Haiti is – it’s pretty close to the Dominican Republic and less than 200 miles away from the Caribbean Islands. Been there – done it was what i usually tell people when you are using cross country moving companies like taking taxis once upon a time.
But this morning on the local news – it wasn’t a pleasant news or anything i wanted to wake up in the morning – more so – i know that there are a group of volunteers from this town who are up there doing good for the ppl of Haiti. Haiti is very slowly but surely trying to help their own economy and an almost God forsaken place - you would think that God would spare them. Poverty is huge there – one can see it as soon as you are out in the local town and local ppl. Sure the beaches are beautiful and so are many places by the sand and the sea – but mostly you can see how poor the ppl are there. I cannot tell you how heavy-hearted i am right now and hoping that the death toll would stop right now as i continue following the news and already 100,000 feared dead. I continue to hope here – hope for a safe return for the people from here and glad that my g/f who went to the Caribbeans to escape the cold is already back home.
