When the earthquake hit Haiti a few months ago people knew that the number of deaths would be high, and they were right. With around 100,000 dead (CNN) the Haitian people and volunteers from all over the world work together to bring back the world they once had, this time a world that won't crumble in the next quake. One headline for the Washington Post reads: Haiti to unveil $3.9B restructuring plan at the U.N. written by Colum Lynch (to read more go here -http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/29/AR2010032903872.html).

Despite everyone's efforts and support, despite the Haitians immense courage, the aftereffects of the earthquake keep some survivors from living in their homes:


         "Some quake survivors prefer living outside of the places they called home ever since the 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck the country Jan. 12 because they're worried their undamaged houses won't stand up to the next temblor to hit the country." -a CBS report

It's easy to give when a huge event is all over the news, but as weeks go by and the news begins to focus on new and up-and-coming stories, people can forget the little countries or towns, research organizations or people in suffering that still desperately need help. Haiti is one of those places. For them, life has not settled down yet.
