We all know what a terrible tragedy it is for the people of Haiti.Through such a tragedy,I praise them for their strength to endure even a minute of this horrific situation. 

I  have been watching many of the major media networks and is just amazed of the day to day count of events occurring in various parts of Haiti, and of how the medical teams assist medical and personal needs as best they can.

I believe it is important to keep looking for people who could be under the rubble because of the enormity of this situation and the area that had to be covered.  More people would have died if

it was not for the Haitian people themselves to react on instinct to do what they could to save others.

I praise all the the Haitian people who stepped up to the plate to save their loved ones and the love ones and family member of others.  The Haitian people were the first responders and they  are to be commended. 

An accountability should be made as of how much money was collected and where it go.

I believe that immediate needs of the people are medical and basic survival- food, water, and shelter.  This  is no time for political intervention.  The people of Haiti have shown the strength and will, to lead and survive.  No one knew that a earth quake would devastate such a area.  It is not their fault that this occured; attention is now placed on the need for housing with the proper coding to survive an earthquake, however, attention needs to be on present needs. 

 Poor building construction is the real reason why so many people lost their lives in Haiti. 

We all know that California is in the same predicament; however, they have support to build buildings that can withstand an earthquake of  magnitude that has occured in Haiti. 

As I watch the late night television, I see other broadcast of places in
Africa, such as the Congo, of their predicament of survival.  Political war in Africa have stymied growth

in many parts of Africa.  It does not make sense for one to destroy their own people because of difference in  political viewpoints-to rape women, burn schools and homes.  I see a connection there and a connection here of how we(some of us) as African-American people self-genocide, and I would like to know why.  I find that not being political correct, and the face values of some of the religious left and right can set an atmosphere of distance, hate, and not being true to what is the correct  nature of man/womankind under the pretenses of the name or alternative name you call “God”.

What I don’t understand is why there are so many orphans.  Somewhere in this world, we have failed to support those who have not the resources to help themselves and to support family values.

Even in our own country, there is a breakdown of family structure and is evident in many ways. You know the list.

This horrible tragedy in Haiti really brings home the venerability of us all and how we are a global

society and is interdependent we are on each other. 

Thank God for all of the Countries who are giving even to this minute help to the Haitian People.

I know their lives will be enhanced for giving and the spreading  good will to all man/womankind.

There is no room for politics, now.  Timing is of the essence for all who are injured and those who might get sick in other ways due to the environment of susceptibility.

Keeping families together is important  if there is a need to relocate-together, they draw strength from each other and with so much lost, they at least have each other.

Those children orphaned should have the opportunity to be adopted and given the chance for a better life should be an immediate focus- Children cannot help themselves and did not ask to be bought in this world.

If you can’t sleep at night, one thing to remember is that much is being done and more will be done

for the Haitian people.  We must all keep Haiti on the Front Page by talking about it, writing about it, and making sure there is an accountability of the funds collected and how it will be used.

Peace, Love and Blessings,
