For most people it’s difficult to explain and preach about things you haven’t experienced before.
How does one put something they have not had to overcome themselves into better perspective for others and spreading the word about the problems they may face. Creating a new future for Haiti will be something their people could only dream of. With some effort and support, we can feed the people as well as increase their quality of life. According to David Brooks in Nytimes (2010) “It’s time to tackle global poverty!”
As we all know Haiti is a very poor and overpopulated country that was destroyed by a natural disaster over six years ago. Families are left starving, dying from disease such as HIV and HPV and suffering from unemployment. This is no way for a country like this to survive, hopeless. We talk about how 15% of Americans live under the poverty line, and we think this is bad. While over in Haiti over 77% of the people live in poverty. The solution to the problem is a large one, and unfortunately not many are going to support such a country because what is the point? Haitians may have lost everything, they might have run out of the money given to them to put them back on their feet, that doesn’t mean we stop there. The children are affected by this so much worse than the adults. They grow up not knowing what it’s like to live a ‘normal’ life. Their life expectancy is shortened by too much. The longest they may have to live is only sixty-three years. The United States gave Haiti 13 billion dollars, but what exactly do they have to show for it? They are a large country with over 10 million in their population. There are the lucky ones of the many, but only a few. Some manage to benefit off of the money given to them in 2010. Some people are able to move out of small tents to small tin camps. Most of the Haitians only dream of becoming a normal country where everything just flows, and the worries and concerns are not as extreme as they have been. …show more content…
Giving away as many non-perishable food items to the people can create more hope for these people that there has ever been. Haitians have created a new food for themselves and have been selling them to make some money. Mud cookies have been their back up, but even this will not save them, but only make things harder for them. Eating the dried out cookies, will cause disease because of the harsh things that made it’s way into the mud and into the bodies of many. Most importantly, they do not have access to clean water. Therefore, they have been washing themselves, consuming and even using the water for cool down methods for themselves. With the exposure to dirty water, more disease is spread. We want these people to feel like they can be there own country once again, and not have to worry about having enough food and water for their family, as well as having a safe and stable home for their family. Giving Haitians back the things they need in order to be there own country and only have to rely on themselves for survival will be the greatest comeback for this country and all that live there. Giving back to the people what they deserve and what is rightfully there’s is something only they could dream about, but we can make dreams come true. This all will work out in the end, because of the amount of support Haiti has standing behind them. This is a project that could take years to accomplish, but within everyday, week, month and year so much could get done and it’ll all add up and be very well worth the amount of time the supports will be putting into this. This is not something that can be completed within a blink of an eye, something like this is one that needs time and patience. Consider the facts, Haiti is located approximately 1,500 miles away from Newark, Ohio. We have to think
