On January 12, 2010 the small island was hit with a 7.0 magnitude earthquake that killed approximately 300,000 people and more were injured. It is also reported that 52 aftershocks were felt in the 2 weeks afterwards.The Haitian government estimates over 280,000 buildings (both residential and commercial) were damaged. A million people were left homeless and countless "tent cities" where erected to house these displaced people. Now 2 years later the tents are still there, even though about half of the occupants have moved out and the rebuilding is moving at a snails pace. And Haiti has not seem much of the money pledged by people all over the world due to the country's corrupt government. I say all this to say - Please Don't Forget Haiti! They still need help. I can only imagine what these people have gone through in the last two years.
