Its a horrible thing to have to come home and here that my country Haiti has been hit by a 7.0 magnitude Earthquake followed by a 5.9 and 5.5 aftershock, 10mi from the capital, Port-Au-Prince. As some may know Haiti has endured many natural disasters within the past 5yrs which she is still recovering from and to have a 7.0 Earthquake hit her while still in recovery is unimaginable, but sadly reality. I ask that you keep my home land in your prayers and also keep the lives that may also be in jeopardy in your prayers.In light of this issue, I must say that it really annoys me that the first adjective used to describe Haiti is usually synonymous to poor...as if that is what defines Haiti. Haiti is a beautiful country with a rich culture that everyone seems to forget about. I think that its time that United States seizes the use of the word poor or any word synonymous to the island. If anyone knows Haiti's history they also know that America has always had its hand in the affairs of Haiti, which also has a lot to do with Haiti's current situation. However my purpose is not to point fingers as to who is to blame for Haiti crisis but is to say that something has got to give and it starts with each and everyone us. If you are Haitian, of Haitian descent or have love for the Haitian culture its time that we do our part as people and help Haiti rise from her current circumstances.
Stay tuned...
my prayers are with you , your family and your country--blessings to all of you!
