Hope Healing Haiti

Hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, and mudslides, so many natural disasters occur in our world that affect so many people around us. With the recent disaster in Haiti many people lost their families and many people even lost their lives. This is a terrifying event that occurred that will go down into history and keeps us wondering what is going to happen next? Is there going to be an earthquake closer to home next time? There is so much worry when these disasters occur and through the media we can see all of it. There are over 300 journalists in Haiti covering what has occurred and the aftermath of it all. 300 journalists, that seems like one to many to be in Haiti at this crucial time, especially when they are all covering the same stories. It seems redundant that there has to be that many journalist that are being well kept when the Haitians that now have no homes and are going through food and water shortages. I do agree that the news must come out and we should know what is going, for the sake of our knowledge and giving us a chance to give back and help the less fortunate. These tragedies affect us is some form or another and this is a time where we all need to be together and help others. The Hope for Haiti telethon, hosted by George Clooney, helped raise more than $70 million dollars in a short period of time. The charity had famous celebrities from Stevie Wonder and Madonna to Taylor Swift and Shakira help raise money for the poor country. Having these famous celebrities work with the Hope for Haiti really gets people motivated to help as well, people admire celebrities so when you see them do a good deed it makes you want to do something good as well. But celebrities or no celebrities you should give back and help the families that lost loved ones, the children that are now orphans, the people that lost their homes. We all can make a difference, even if its by the simpliest thing, anything can make a difference in someone’s life. Mother Teresa once said, "We ourselves feel that we are doing is just a drop in the ocena. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop." Yes we might just be giving our spare change or the clothes. We never wear to a charity helping Haiti, but all these little things that we don't see as making a hufe really in fact does.
