Haiti Earthquake

In the wake of the utter devastation inflicted by the earthquake in Haiti, the efforts and contributions of people everywhere are crucial.

Even before the Haiti earthquake, life was a struggle for 11-year-old Clifford, one of Port-au-Prince’s thousands of street children. He spends his days hustling for coins and queuing for food.

With the government overwhelmed by the massive numbers of bodies, a businessman arranges to have about 2,500 moved into communal graves with backhoes.

Haiti officials hope the reopening will give a boost to businesses and provide money to begin rebuilding the country.

The earthquake left some hillside homes demolished while leaving other buildings seemingly untouched. Outside assistance, and relief efforts, appear nonexistent.
