Haiti is an island located south of Florida, and east of the Gulf of Mexico with a population of about nine million. It was a third world country for quite a while. Until recently it has slowly been "crawling" out of being a third world country; which is very good!
But…
A certain "incident" has happened that did indeed kill at least 10,000 people; and it might even be more…
"What?" you might ask.
The thing that did happen was an earthquake. 7.0 to be exact.
Bodies, bodies everywhere, and not enough places to bury them. That may seem a little harsh, or even sick! But it is the truth. (Unfortunately)
"So what? At least it is not me!" Someone may say.
You don't get it, do you? Thousands of people died, and all you can say is "So what?' And "at least it is not me!" They do have a special place in hell for people like you! (And for little boys who don't hug their mothers; of course!)
"Um… Well-"
Stop, just stop right there!
Stop being so self centered, and stop being a jerk!
"But- I'm not being a jerk or self centered! I'm just glad that I'm still alive!"
Oh sure because it wasn't you, and your still alive that makes everything alright?
Just because you're alright does not mean the rest of the world is alright!
Especially Haiti! Their suffering the most right now!
"Suffering?"
Yes very much so! In fact there are rumors of there being riots in some cities.
"Is there any one over there taking care of those people?"
Yes, actually! Doctors, and nurses, and a few other people.
"Is there any way I can help?"
Yes there are organizations out there helping out! You can donate money, food, clothes, and even a few toys for the children! Here are some of the links and locations:

Very nicely done, Samuel. Now go hug your mother.
