The January 12 earthquake in Haiti put the small Island in the spotlight. One can only thank the news agencies for putting the devastation in the spotlight for the whole world to respond in positive ways.
It's great to hear that individuals around the world are responding with money to assist the people in Haiti rebuild their homes.
While it is unfortunate that so many lives have been lost due to this devastation, it is equally hard to understand why the government had failed to prevent such poor buildings to have been built in the first place.
One can only hope that the government has learned from this very hard lesson and rebuild a better better.
In Canada, so many of us, myself included, sometimes take our lives for granted. It is good that many Canadians have donated money to help the cause for rebuilding Haiti.
Let us all hope and pray that Haiti will be rebuilt and its people will be able to have better lives and futures. We also should pray for a speedy recovery. It's people will also require not only physical healing, but emotional healing as well.
