It’s been just over three weeks since the January earthquake hit Haiti, yet the media is already putting this horrific event behind it. There’s little or no front page coverage in newspapers, and TV news has moved on, forgetting the continuing plight of the Haitian people.
Donations to some relief agencies have dropped dramatically. Red Cross donations are down 50% from January and other organizations are also feeling the pinch, even though some relief efforts on the ground are just starting.
It will take more than a few days for Haiti to recover from this catastrophe. Men, women and children are still starving and without shelter. Many have lost everything they owned, and the hurricane reason is fast approaching. Much more needs to be done. We need to assist where and when we can. We need to get the word out and keep the Haitian people in our prayers. Please give generously to agencies that are assisting in Haiti!
