A country in troubles

Maybe, you have heard something about the earthquake that happened in Haití last week, I think it was a terrible event because Haití is one of the continent's poorest countries, and the majority of we forget countries as poor as Haití until there happens a catastrophe of dimensions as terrible as the one happened last week.


The last monday I read that most of the people in Haití was really worried and upset about the earthquake (it couldn't be different because a lot of these people lost their families or their houses and all the possesions they had) and although medical supplies and food was sent from whole the world they didn't  receive anything because was impossible arrive to Haití; and I started to think about their situation and I felt really hard about it, because we live in the same wolrd, we are from the same continent, and maybe we're different in some things, but we are together in this ship and I belive we have to help them, because today they need our help.


Most of the people I know, and specially teenagers like us, are indifferent about Haití, and I don't know why. It is a really important event; right now there are houndreds of people that had lost everything, they live in a distroyed city, maybe they can't sleep because the don't know something about their siblings or their friends, right now there are a lot of people living in a hell, and maybe we just can help them sending them a rice bag or some medicines, but we can help them, and maybe we won't receive something for this help, but we know we are able to help other person without waiting something.


I think there are important topics to talk and Haití is one of these topics, don't forget it.
