At 21 years old in this day-and-age, many adults seem to think that “young adults” and teenagers have no clue what is going on in the world. We communicate through Twitter and “chat speak,” cake on make-up with paint-rollers and wear our pants around our ankles. We’re just burdens in society that shouldn’t have a say.
You proved them wrong with how much attention you paid during 9/11. You proved them wrong by going out and voting in 2008, for most of us, the first time we could.
Let’s prove them wrong again.
The death toll from Haiti’s earthquake could be between 45,000 and 50,000, with a further three million people hurt or homeless, a senior Haitian Red Cross official said on Thursday.
“No one knows with precision, no one can confirm a figure. Our organization thinks between 45,000 and 50,000 people have died. We also think there are 3 million people affected throughout the country, either injured or homeless,” Victor Jackson, an assistant national coordinator with Haiti’s Red Cross said.
Haitians struggled frantically to save those injured in the earthquake as desperately needed aid from around the world began arriving. Planes carrying teams from China, France and Spain landed at Port-au-Prince’s airport with searchers and tons of food, medicine and other supplies — with more promised from around the globe.
The influx of aid had yet to reach shell-shocked Haitians who silently wandered the broken streets of Port-au-Prince, searching desperately for water, food and medical help.
Little Rocker Media would like to help the victims of this natural disaster, and encourage you to help as much as you can. Below, you will find a link to various charities that will be helping the Haitians in rebuilding their home. Please take a few moments to check them out.
We know times are tough. They are tough for us, like they are for many Americans, but even a simple $5.00 donation will be used for food, water, supplies and so much more.
