"Nou led Nou la"
Haiti is located thousands of miles from many Haitians Americans that have been affected by this great tragedy on January 12, 2010. For many this is just the beginning of a wonderful year. Haiti was hit with a 7.0 Earthquake, which made this year began in the worst way possible this may seem like an opinion, but I believe that this is a factual opinion. I see in a wired way a new Haiti that is going to become of this disaster. In this tragedy an old building going for demolition but in this building there was a nation, unprepared for the demolition. “Nou led” “Nou la”. The 7.0 earthquakes along with its after quakes were ugly, but their aftermaths are here. The Haitians living in Haiti are ugly after this but trust they are here. We Americans are ugly for seeing what the Haitian people have been through, but we are here. The earthquake and its after quakes came to let everyone know of their existence. Someone said that “This shouldn’t happen to any place on earth, but Haiti of all places is the worst it can happen to”. This is true; Haiti is one of the poorest countries and has been through a lot. This earthquake is maybe the wakeup call that countries in the world needed to see how much the Haitian people needed their help. This should allow Haitian people to rise and work together to build a stronger foundation. The wakes came and gone they were very ugly now what are we going to do about it?For years The Haitian people have been ugly. The Haitian people went through it all, Starvation and evilness. This devastation could be the end of our misery; maybe this is something that has happened to make the Haitian Community a better place. The Haitian people have been ugly alone for so many years, now they have been recognized. Organizations everywhere have been formed to help the Haitian people, but where are they. Visiting Haiti it is very hard to see any helping hand. So many Haitian Americans live among us, but we were not first to lend a helping hand. Why is that? For this we are ugly to our neighbors. We are now here, not only to help now but to help in many years to come. This is the kind of love the Haitians need and is expecting after this tragedy. They are alone in so many ways, as far as personal lost of Family members, home, and the country that was once there. We will never be able to build those families back or the same home that they once called home. We can build a stronger structure, to one day hopefully allow the Haitian people to build their own Country that has falling in so many cracks. We as humans can become ugly to our own kind. We as humans can all rise and are here for one another. Is this what it takes to open eyes? This quake brought out so many. There are so many people that donated to the Haitian people. I would like to personally would like to thank everyone that helped and is helping the Haitian people in Haiti. Let this be our lesson that we all learn together.
