Haiti Earthquake Relief: Ways to Help
The only thing that comes to mind today is the suffering and loss that has ravaged the small, depleted country of Haiti as a result of the strongest earthquake ever to be recorded there, which hit the island just two days ago. As one of the most impoverished countries in the western hemisphere, Haiti lies in ruin with a government completely without resources of its own to aid the tens of thousands of victims amongst the rubble.
