Three days ago an earthquake struck Haiti, the poorest nation in the western hemisphere. Many are approximating that nearly 100,000 died. 100,000 human beings.
If these numbers are correct, that is about 1.2% of the population. 1.2 percent seems like a small number, but with a country with a population of about 8,326,000, it is a huge amount.
Please take a moment to think about that. It could have been your mother or father or sibling or aunts or uncles. It could have been your best friend. It could have been or best friend or your partner or children.
It could have been you.
The thousands of people injured in Haiti are largely without doctors, medicine, food, water, shelter, and so many other basic necessities.
100,000 human beings.
Very true, I hope everyone who reads this will give a little love. Thanks Noa!
