Haiti

It has been two weeks since the terrible earthquake that occurred in Haiti, and I am absolutely impressed by people's generosities and involvement. To date Canadians have given almost twenty million dollars to relief organizations and the government will be matching that figure bringing the total to over forty million dollars by Canadians alone, that's great! There have been fundraising telethons in both Canada and the United States involving just about everybody who is Rich and famous and how much total money collected by all the countries has to be staggering. The opportunity for Haiti to rebuild a more solid and stable community definitely exist now with the comforts and securities of modern buildings and an infrastructure that meets the demands of our changing world. In my opinion that's good because Port Au Prince used to be one of the worlds most violent cities, and definitely needed change, its just unfortunate that it had to happen this way. I hope we can see a speedy recovery to a desperate nation and one that will be lasting.
