From Monkey in the Middle:For the people of Haiti.
Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. This is surprising considering the natural beauty of the island of Hispaniola it shares with the Dominican Republic. A series of dictators and 2 centuries of bad government brought this nation to this state of poverty.
Add to that the fact that the island of Hispaniola is directly in the path of Hurricanes entering the Caribbean Sea, yesterday's 7.0 Earthquake was rubbing salt into the wounds....
Monkey in the Middle has early video coming in from this disaster. Go here to take a look and read more. Then, please do what you can. Prayers are always good. Thank you.
