Why does it take a world crisis to occurr for people to realize other people are in need besides our on? There are many people across the world that goes to sleep every night with a empty stomach, wake up in the morning not even having clean water to drink, or even having a place called "home". As an Americans, We take these luxuries for granted at times and I may be one of those people. For some home is a two room house, barely have electricity, and running water inside the house. We Winn about not having enough cloths to wear or even the most expensive things in life. But for some people, they only have two shirts and one pair of pants, and consider that a life long dream. I say as Americans we should look past our overly excessive luxuries and help people who are in very desperate needs of necessities. Of I am referring to the earthquake that hit Haiti which torn the country literally into to pieces. This was a major devastation to them and the world economy. This incident is very dear to me because I have a cousin that works for CNN and was over there for twelve long days. I got to see first hand pictures and hear stories about what was and was not been doing to help these people. So I say to all lets keep the people in our prayers and continue to assistance them on rebuilding their country.
