Today, January 12, 2010, Haiti was hit by an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the richter scale. The epicenter was located just 15 km away from Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince. Less than one hour later another earthquake measuring 5.9 hit the same fault line. Four hours later another earthquake measuring 5.7 further devastated the island. Haiti was still recovering from Hurricane Ike that hit in late 2008. Now Haiti is utterly and completely devastated!! Tens of thousands are left homeless and thousands of people are either missing or believed to be dead.
Many third world countries that are hit by natural disasters are left in peril, but being that Haiti is an extremely poor island that has minimal tourism, it is extremely important to aid the Haitians with any monetary help. Every little bit counts, and those little bits add up and can help save a life, rebuild a school for orphaned children or help rebuild a fallen hospital.
