Haiti Earthquake
    One of the biggest disasters so far this year is not politics or some diva's dog dying, the disaster I am talking about is the earthquake that happened in Haiti January 12, 2010. In this earthquake, one third of Haiti's population has died so far and everyone else isn't very good off. The people of Haiti have received aid from people all around the world these last few weeks but they still need more. There are stars like Justin Timberlake, Bon Jovi, and Angelina Jolie helping Haiti out and not even they have raised all of the money that Haiti needs. No one realizes that Haiti may be very poor now, but they were just as poor before the earthquake. I just hope that everyone realizes that all people bleed red and we are all sons and daughters of God and that makes us family, and if your family needs you, you help them. And if you can't help Haiti financially, then at least keep them in your prayers and thoughts because I bet that they would appreciate that as much as a bottle of water.
